Hi Michelleโฆ
Love your site. I visit often and love every recipe of yours that Iโve ever tried. I love reading about your kiddos. They are adorable. Iโm on round two with the kiddosโฆ Iโm a grandmother to 4โฆ a girl (8 yrs) and 3 boys (5 yrs and 4 yr old twins). I can relate to lots of stories that you post about your kiddos. Thank you for sharing.
I wanted to comment on your link to the Chocolate Chip Pie. Iโve been making it for years and I can tell you, it is one of the most requested things that Iโve ever made. I checked the link and would like to let you know that the original recipe that I have called for 2 sticks of butter. Yep! 2 sticks. The other thing that was part of the original recipe was to melt the butter and let it cool (still melted, but cooled down). I usually do that before I start mixing the other ingredients. I use the microwave and melt until there is still some somewhat solid butter in the measuring cup, then swirl it around to melt the rest. I set it on the counter to cool while Iโm preparing everything else. By the time I need to add it, it has cooled down enough. I think the melted butter helps to make the batter easier to pour into the pie crust, rather than spoon it in. Iโve been making it this way for a very long time, so you can trust me. If you havenโt alreadyโฆ try it. Itโs amazing!!
I have the copycat recipe for Wingers Sticky Fingers. ย Theyโre delicious!
