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.
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.

Cookies had a flavor similar to a shortbread, but were soft and light. The batter is very soft. You really need to "drop" the batter into the sugar and just roll it around. It might be a good idea to chill the batter first. I will make these again with the addition of chopped pecans and a little grated orange peel.
