Yay! It's finally here :) I hope everyone has a very joy-filled Christmas & Holidays-get in the spirit by making some milk & cookies (with a fashionable twist...)
Take a break from hokey music this Christmas and look up Sigur Ros on grooveshark.com. It'll fill your heart with love.

Super-Simple Infused Lavender Milk
2 c. milk
1tsp. sugar
1tsp. dried lavender (or any other spice or herb)
Bring the milk, sugar, and lavender to a boil. Let steep 15 minutes. Strain and ice down.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1-3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 teaspoons instant espresso coffee powder
- 1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
| 1. | Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cream the butter with the sugars using an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy (approximately 30 seconds) |
| 2. | Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract for another 30 seconds. |
| 3. | In a mixing bowl, sift together the dry ingredients and beat into the butter mixture at low speed for about 15 seconds. Stir in the espresso coffee powder and chocolate chips. |
| 4. | Using a 1 ounce scoop or a 2 tablespoon measure, drop cookie dough onto a greased cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. Gently press down on the dough with the back of a spoon to spread out into a 2 inch circle. Bake for about 20 minutes or until nicely browned around the edges. Bake a little longer for a crispier cookie. |
| Yield: | 2 dozen cookies |
