Tollhouse Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

     This afternoon Jessie, Donna, and I thought we would go to the home and try to do something fun with the girls.  Our plan was to make chocolate chip cookies. They do not sell chocolate chips in Moldova, but I have heard multiple people at the home say they really like this American cookie.  So I had some chocolate chips, and figured we could enjoy them together. [ It has been really cool lately, God has been opening up more opportunities to spend quality time with the ladies.]  When we arrived, the house was like a wasteland.  So we began to collect the stuff we needed hoping girls would join. One of the staff members quickly told us we would need to double the recipe because everyone would want these cookies.  It was no problem to double the recipe, but I think something or somethings got missed :)  It was most likely the baking soda.  We ended up with about five people making the cookies including one of the kids, and it was hard to keep track of what went in and what did not.  All that to say, that the first tray of cookies took about 25 minutes to cook.  Yeah, they are a 12 minute cookie max. After we added more flour baking soda and increased the temperature on the stove, the second tray took the right amount of time, but they were the chewiest chocolate chip cookies I have ever had.  By the end, all the girls were downstairs.  By the time we left, all the cookies had been eaten.  I guess they weren't that bad.  Oh the joys of baking.
     It is so amazing to see what God is doing in these womens lives.  At the end off cookie making, the house was filled with chomping, singing, and laughter.  So good!!!
   I am really looking forward to this coming week.  I am going to be teaching on some difficult topics, so I could use some prayer.
Also, if anyone know why the cookies were so chewy and also hallow, I would love to know:)
