Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

Not sure what makes this cake florida style but it's close to the texas style cakes I grew up with.

Love this cake. Easy to make. I add chopped walnuts to the cake batter in addition to the frosting.

A very good chocolate cake from scratch.
In the directions it says to boil the first 4 ingredients which includes the sugar. Then it says to add the sugar to the next step. That needs to be corrected. The sugar should go in the 2nd step.. do not boil it. Then, I poured the batter into my cookie sheet as directed.. it overflowed.

Can anyone tell me why my frosting turned back into liquid after two days? I followed the recipe but after two days, my frosting was like chocolate syrup!
The first paragraph of the cooking instructions needs to be corrected. The addition of sugar is stated twice. Which is correct-including the suger with the ingredients that are to be brought to a boil or adding it along with other dry ingredients?
