My First Attempt at Blogging!

Well, today is my first try at creating a blog!  I really enjoy reading blogs others have set up, and figured it was time to join in the fun.  In upcoming days I'll try to post photos, recipes, patterns and other things I enjoy! 

Here's one of my favorite recipes for today:

3-Chip Cookies
1 cup shortening (butter flavored is best)
1 cup granulated sugar
1-½ cups brown sugar
3 eggs
1 tbsp. vanilla
1/2 cup peanut-butter(optional)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup peanut-butter chips
1 cup butterscotch chips

Cream shortening, sugars, eggs and vanilla until creamy. Sift together dry ingredients, stir into creamed mixture.  Stir in chips. Roll into balls and place 2 in. apart on greased cookie sheets and bake about 12 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes about 4 dozen.
