You wrote some goals, good for you! Now is the test of your resolve! Over the next several weeks as you strive for your goals you WILL BE TESTED.

You WILL WANT TO QUIT.
You WILL WANT TO MAKE EXCUSES.

THIS is your opportunity to separate yourself from the other 92% of the world and create the life of your dreams!

Today I go back to the concept of separation season and use baking good ol' chocolate chip cookies as a springboard to understanding how to come out EXTRAORDINARY!

For fun, here's my favorite best ever tried and true recipe! 

Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe By Americas Test Kitchen

Ingredients

• 2 cups Flour plus 2 tablespoons
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 12 Tablespoons Butter 1 1/2 sticks Unsalted, melted and cooled until just warm
• 1 Cup Brown Sugar Packed
• 1/2 Cup Sugar
• 1 Egg Lrg plus 1 Egg Yolk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla
• 1-1 1/2 Cups baking Chips Semi Sweet Chocolate, I tried milk, but I think semi sweet really works better because it doesn't melt down like milk does and with the sweet cookie the semi sweet cuts that a bit making it a perfect balance

Instructions

• Heat oven to 325 and adjust racks to upper and lower middle positions.
• Line two baking sheets with parchment or spray with nonstick spray.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl and set aside.
• Either by hand or with an electric mixer, mix the butter and sugars until thoroughly blended.
• Beat in the egg, yolk, and vanilla until combined.
• Add the dry ingredients and beat at low speed until just combined.
• Stir in chips to taste.
• Roll a scant 1/4 cup of the dough into a ball.
• Holding the ball with fingertips of both hands pull the dough in half, rotate 90 degrees and stick back together so that the jagged edges are sticking up. (obviously in the picture I did not do that this time)
• Bake until light golden brown, 15-18 min, rotating the baking sheets front to back and top to bottom rack half way through the baking time.
