DOUBLETREE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES! SHARE THE LOVE!

It's summertime. It's Saturday!

Time to share some sweetness with the ones you love!

I did just that by baking up a batch of these divine chocolate chip cookies!

Last night we met family for dinner and enjoyed seeing the Dallas skyline at night!

 

 

 I surprised each of the boys(and Jenn)

by presenting them with a bag of these homemade cookies.

I love trying out new recipes, and

had never prepared this version of the chocolate chipper!

Yes....it's a good recipe!

What makes a tad difference, I think, is that tiny touch of lemon juice! Who knew?

If you have ever stayed at a Doubletree,

the aroma of cookies baking will make you feel right at home!

 Enjoy the weekend y'all!
