May here is always busy...yardwork, planning for gardens, end-of-school ceremonies & concerts, and spring cleaning.
This year we'll celebrate two graduations...my daughter will be getting her university diploma for dance/ballet Saturday. She's dancing with a ballet company while finishing up her Psychology degree and will graduate with that next spring. My son will be graduating from high school in 17 days, and just committed to a college where he'll major in Biochemistry.
More about all this later...but honestly, how did we go from

(and of course, a bit weepy...time flies, sniff, sniff)
Anyway...today's recipe came from my mother-in-law's recipe box and is another chocolaty one (do you see a pattern here?) I finished baking them just as my friend arrived with 9 glorious gallons of fresh, raw milk.
Just look at the cream floating on the top waiting for the best homemade butter and cheese...ahhh, what a treat!
Double Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies
1-1/4 c. butter, softened
2 c. sugar
2 eggs
2 t. vanilla extract
2 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
2 c. chocolate chips
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together butter and sugar; add eggs and vanilla. Beat until combined. Gradually blend in flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased* cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 9* minutes. Cool slightly.
*While I didn't make any ingredient changes, I did put a parchment sheet on my baking sheet, and Mae needed a full 10 minutes for the cookies to bake, but then, each oven is a little different.
I don't think this is the best photo...but truly, if you have a chocolate craving, these are for you!
