Pancakes

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 Tbsp. sugar

2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1 beaten egg

1 cup milk

Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.  Make a well in center of flour mixture; set aside.  Combine the egg, milk, and oil.  Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture.  Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy)  DON'T OVERMIX!  Cook over medium heat about 2 minus on each side or until pancakes are golden brown, turning to second sides when pancakes have bubbly surfaces and edges are slightly dry.  Serve warm.

For whole wheat pancakes substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose and brown sugar for white sugar.

Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies!

So I was hesitant to put this recipe on my blog because in my opinion these cookies are amazing!  I took what I liked from several different recipes and came up with this.  I don't have a picture either, because everytime we make them they are gone so quick I don't get have a chance to get a picture.  Maybe I will just put up a general cookie picture!  

Mix together in a small bowl: 

3 cups flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

Mix together in a large mixing bowl:

1 1/4 cup coconut oil - use Spectrum unrefined extra-virgin.  It contains the most flavor.  It's more expensive, but so worth it!

1 1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup sugar

a little more than 1 tsp vanilla

depending on egg size 2-3 eggs.  If extra large eggs, use 2.  If medium or large use 3.

1/2 tsp molasses

Mix your wet ingredients thoroughly and then add dry ingredients.  Mix just till combined.  Then add 2-3 cups chocolate chips.  Press dough into a 9 x 12 x 13 pan.  Bake at 375 for 10- 15 minutes.  Don't overcook!  Enjoy!
