Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are so soft and just plain perfect. They are very easy to make. I use my kitchenaid stand mixer. Just in case anyone wants to use their mixer for it... make sure you fold in the nuts/chocolate chips. The mixer will crush them. If you have any problems with burning cookies you should buy a small cookie scoop (small icecream scoop) to be positive they are the same size.

Rolled Fondant
This was my first attempt at fondant. I made it using my kitchenaid stand mixer. It was a little rough on my kitchenaid (but it gladly took the task), but turned out great. Just make sure you use your dough hook and no other attachment. I would suggest [if its your first time attempting fondant] to try rolling it onto a smaller cake, or possibly petit fours until you get the hang of it. I did make a tear while transfering it to a 9' round layered cake, but was able to correct it after a little work.

Banana Crumb Muffins
Although I prefer traditional banana bread to this recipe, my fiance is in love with this recipe. I do double the crumb portion of the recipe in make sure that I have more than enough to go on top. Overall a good and easy make. : )
