C is for Cookie, Congregational, Church, Common, and Craft fair

Today, I am baking for the "Harvest Festival" to be held tomorrow at First Congregational Church on the common here in West Springfield, a.k.a. "my church".

Right now, I am baking the beer bread I posted back on October 6. My apartment smells AWESOME. It just occurred to me today that this is a vegan recipe. It's nice to have another vegan recipe in my repertoire.

I am also making these cookies, which I posted a long time ago but am reposting to bring them back to the forefront:

Heavenly Chocolate Chip Cookies
(Yeah, I'm making them for church, and the recipe came from a church cookbook, bearing this name. It's corny, but apropos.)

1/2 cup softened margarine
2/3 cup shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1- 12 oz. package semi-sweet chips
Cream margarine and shortening until smooth. Beat in eggs, sugars, and vanilla; mix until well-blended. Gradually add flour, salt, and baking soda. When well-blended, fold in chocolate chips. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls unto ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375 F for 8 but no longer than 10 minutes. These cookies will be golden brown in spots. Even if they look underdone, do not cook them for longer than 10 minutes--they will settle into perfection. As a variation, these are also good made with white chocolate chips.
