The best chocolate chip cookies (probably ever)
🍪 Its quite the claim to make, I know, but these cookies are so yummy and I’ve done them many times with great success. If you’re really feeling creative, last Halloween instead of using chocolate chips I used chopped up Halloween candy (smarties, MnMs, Reese’s, Aero, ect) and it was AWESOME! But can’t beat a classic, right?
🍪 Ingredients:
1 cup butter (melt it and let it cool for ~10 minutes)
1¼ cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
1 egg (room temperature)
1½ tsp vanilla extract
2¾ cup flour
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
¾ tsp salt
1 cup chocolate chips (or more, if you want)
🍪 How to make it:
Combine butter, brown sugar and white sugar in a bowl. Add the egg and vanilla extract.
In separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt.
Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet, and make sure all flour is mixed in.
Allow to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (longer is fine)
Scoop cookie dough into balls, adding chocolate chips, and place onto lined baking sheet.
Space cookies about 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
Bake at 350⁰ for 11 minutes.
You will likely have to do multiple pans because of the required spacing, but ensure the cookies can cook for at least 10 minutes before removing them from the pan.
🍪 Notes:
When the 11 minutes is up, they look soft. Like REALLY soft. But believe me, that’s correct. Just don’t handle them before the 10 minutes is up, because they might melt on the cooling rack or in your hands. They stay soft for a few days, but only if they don’t get eaten first. Happy Baking!
so sad that we are surrounded by birds and most ppl dont even look at them. how can you look at the beloved pigeon and not admire its stupid little waddle and delightful little rump? how can you see the humble house sparrow and not be enraptured by its adorable little cap and splendid black bib? how can you see a seagull and not admire it’s size (very big when you think about it) and it’s tenacity in targeting humans, the most obnoxious and dangerous of all gods creatures? open your eyes

You think the world would love you better without your holy edges, without your bleeding wounds and unsightly want. You think the world would love you better but it's just the world.
The grass is soft and holds the ants and parasites and wolves. The wind is gentle and topples mountains the same as it steals breathe. The ocean remembers you, the sea consumes. You are not so tall and not so new.
You think the world would love you better but the world has eaten as much as it's given. the world’s great beauty is a mirror and an indifference to all your burning parts. the Sun is graceful. the Sun is deadly.
We inherit tragedy from hunger but the world would love you better no more, no less, than it will bare you. And it will, and it will.
No joke is one-size-fits-all, but adding "but I remain optimistic" at the end of any somewhat-speculating statement makes it funny, taking a different tone in each.
Adding it to the end of something positive gives it an unexpected twist - implying that whatever the good thing that happened was, it wasn't what you expected or hoped to happen, but you're yet to give up hope of whatever the fuck you've now vaguely implied towards might still happen. "He survived and is expected to make a full recovery, but I remain optimistic."
Adding it to a neutral statement implies that you think something can be done about it, funniest if the statement is something that obviously can't be affected. "Apparently it's tuesday tomorrow, but I remain optimistic."
And the bleakest, most hopeless statements just become bleakly funny by the grim absurdity. "About 30 seconds remain until impact, and the chances of any of us surviving the crash are zero. But I remain optimistic."
It's just very important to me that you know prairie-style gardens exist.
Ok. Thank you. Carry on.
I think a lot about that Fruits Basket story where the onigiri (rice ball) thinks its plain and bad with nothing special about it
but everyone else actually admires it because of the delicious plum on its back that it can’t see
anyway, I’m going on a second date with a girl soon and couldn’t help but think “Why would she want to keep going out with me?? I’m like, so weird and a little crazy.”
but then I remembered that there is also a plum on my back that I can’t see and that people often like others for reasons we don’t recognize in ourselves. Be kind to yourself. There’s always something good about someone– however little we remember it.
this is so beautiful especially given the state of the piano and where it’s left,, how they gave it life again and also the song choice i cried watching this yeah
