Chocolate Chip Cookies

Today our snack was cookies. They were delicious. :) Mine turned out really, really, tall. Like over an inch tall! I can only guess that it's because the dough was completely room temperature. (That's because it took me about two hours to make the cookies, first I had to stop to feed people lunch, then I stopped again to eat, then I stopped to do kitchen. So in the end, it took forever.) But their cookies weren't as tall as mine. Their cookies looked like hats, flat around the edges, and a hump in the middle. Who knows. :)
Anywho...to the recipe:

Chocolate Chip Cookies
3/4 cup dairy free butter replacement. (I used Earth Balance again, but don't use the whole 3/4 cup or else you will have way greasy cookies, and the taste is a little overpowering.)
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
1 Tablespoon vanilla (yes, that says tablespoon)
1 egg or 1 egg worth of egg replacer. (I don't know what brand we use, but it's dairy free, naturally)
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
teeny, tiny bit of salt
2 cups chocolate chips (that's how my sis makes cookies, equal amounts of chocolate and flour, but I have found when I use Earth Balance, that many chocolate chips don't stick in the dough, so just add them until they stop staying in your dough :)
 


Here are the instructions, and captions for the pictures.
Cream sugar, spread, and vanilla.
Add egg.
Add flour, salt, and baking soda.
(Next add chocolate chips, I forgot to get that picture)
Bake at 350 F. for 8-10 minutes, DO NOT overcook! (Believe it or not, the ones in the oven are done...they will be really soft when they come out, but harden up a little when they cool off.)

The rest of the pictures are just of cookies. 
If you try this recipe, I hope you enjoy it! :)

Hwe Che

Hwe Che is a popular Korean drink, and last week in Geography we learned about North Korea.
Last night we made it, and it's a weird combination, I personally would only mix watermelon and soda in a blender, to make it slushy-like, with ice, of course!

Diced watermelon.

Ginger Ale....we used Twist Up (see picture???)                                                         
Spoon watermelon into glasses.
Sprinkle with sugar.

 Add soda.

And tada! There you have your very own Hwe Che!
