cha-ching!

Yes, that's the sound of money, and georgie tees is finally bringing some in. The online boutique BellaBlu Maternity recently picked up our line of tees and we've had four sales in two days. That's a first for our little business, which has had a very slow start since our website opened on December 1, 2005. We're hoping this is just the beginning of a very successful year. To help us celebrate these past couple days I highly recommend you whip up a batch of the following cookies and eat at least two hot out of the oven. Just don't burn your tongue on the ooey, gooey chocolate chips.

Blue Ribbon Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 1/4 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 c butter, softened
3/4 c packed brown sugar
1/4 c white sugar
1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix (these are extra yummy if you substitute chocolate pudding mix)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 c semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together the flour and baking soda and set aside. In a large bowl cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat in the instant pudding mix. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Blend in the flour mixture. Add the chocolate chips. Drop by rounded spoonfuls on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool two minutes on cookie sheet and remove to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.
