Here ya go...from Gail's ... copy-cat Mrs. Field's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Here's a "Copy-Cat" recipe. . . hope it's what you're looking for. . .

MRS. FIELD'S¨ CHOCOLATE-CHIP COOKIES


1 cup UNSWEETENED BUTTER
1/2 cup GRANULATED SUGAR
1-1/2 cups packed BROWN SUGAR
2 LARGE EGGS
2-1/2 teaspoons VANILLA EXTRACT
2-1/2 cups ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
3/4 teaspoons SALT
1 teaspoon BAKING POWDER
1 teaspoon BAKING SODA
12 ounces SEMI-SWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS

Preheat oven to 350º F. In a larger mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla well. Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Stir in the chocolate chips.

With your fingers, place golf ball sized dough portions, 2" inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 9 minutes or until edges are light brown.

NOTE: It is very important you not exceed the cooking time given above, even if the cookies appear to be under baked. When the cookies are removed from the oven the sugar in them will stay hot and continue the cooking process. The finished product should be soft in the middle and crunchy around the edges. For variations of this cookie, substitute milk chocolate for the semi sweet chocolate and/or add 1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts or macadamia nuts to the recipe before baking.

Although you can substitute margarine for butter, the best results will come from using butter. The cookie will have a richer taste and will be crisper around the edges like the original.

I'm a little slow on the uptake, my weekend six was to fall and not be able to get up...

I so should be on one of those commercials!

1) Take out trash.

2) When coming back, once on porch decide to turn, step down into garden and turn on water for lawn. Fail.

3) Tangle feet, feel sharp pain and then break fall by hitting cement walkway with cheek.

4) ER

5) Severe sprain tears to right foot/ankle. Broken left ankle. skinned knee and luckily no shattered cheekbone, but it's making lots of colors and looks like I've had 1 cheek implant.

6) Admit crutches/office chair isn't working/find wheelchair today and tomorrow see ortho to confirm if ankle needs surgery like the ER doc thinks.

 
Oh no, Maria, I am so sorry.

Having just gone through the ankle thing (and still ongoing), I really recommend if you have are able to use the knee walker scooter instead of a wheelchair.

I don't know about this company per se but it has some great examples of the models available. You can rent them and hopefully your insurance will cover them. I have loads of other tips so just reach out if you want.

gentle hugs to you...

Hopefully I can switch to that but for now...it's both feet.

SIL just went to pick up a wheelchair for me. (Thank god for her! She's feeding me too.) I can't wait because I've been in bed since Sunday except for the 11 hrs at the ER.

That knee walker looks cool, maybe it will get me out of the chair sooner. Right now I'm putting full weight on the sprain with crutches, but that's so not working. How did you manage showers? Thinking I'm going to need to get some kind of chair for that.

 
NFR: Forewarned -- pictures of mah sad hurt feeties...

These first two pictures are from the first day, nearly right after:

This is what I'm calling the good foot. I thought that bruise on the top would mean it broke, but it didn't. (Felt like it.)

This is the broken ankle - it's since turned all black/blue. I had a compression splint I put on this foot right away. That's why it doesn't look more swollen. That and being packed in ice right away.

This is the temp plaster "splint" and a boo-boo on my knee. You don't want to see my face.
