Thanks to Bakerella’s post about chocolate chip cookies I had to make some.  My old stand by recipe is on the Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chip package.  I always use the mini morsels, but the cookie recipe on that package is still just the original Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe.  You get more chocolate in every bite with the mini chips.  Hooray for more chocolate!  

Sometimes I substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour (still tastes great, just a bit heavier… more cakey).  I usually only make half the recipe too.  This time I just made the normal full recipe.  I was good though and only baked a dozen.  The rest I made into little balls and stuck in the freezer in case I need another cheat day.  Cookies have a way of disappearing around here in just a couple days.

Mmmmmm…..

So, thanks to this post by Bakerella, I’ve been wanting to visit Retro Bakery for a little while.  

So, I went today.  The shop is just a few minutes from my house.  

Obviously not few enough.  Even on an overcast day with the AC blasting, the Las Vegas heat managed to melt my frosting off of a few of the cakes.  ~sniff~

I mushed the frosting back into place as prettily as I could (I know… not very).  Oh well, the melties didn’t take away from the flavor!  Retro bakery has a FANTASTIC selection of flavors.  The gentleman who helped me was SO nice.  I can’t recommend them enough.  Most importantly, of course, these little cakes are yum yum yummy!  The flavors I purchased were Creamsicle, Peanut Butter Cup, Chocolate Covered Banana, and Red Carpet.  Delicious! 

Since my mind is apparently a slave to Bakerella’s blog posts, I’m planning on making MY favorite chocolate chippers this weekend.  So, keep an eye out.  Mmmm…
