Amish Chocolate Chip Cookies

There really is no end to what I can do with this Amish starter.

These were awesome!  They were crunchy on the outside and super cakey on the inside. Perfect texture.

Now, I have to warn you.  I am not a good baker.  Not. At. All.  Did you see the shape of those cookies? Not a round one in sight!

I think the recipe I looked at called for 3 cups of flour, I used more like 2 1/2, it seemed thick enough. I know, you're supposed to measure well when baking. I have a problem with measuring. 

I also got my molasses and vanilla mixed up.  Once again, I decided to eye ball it and just pour some molasses in the bowl.  Well, apparently I had the vanilla in hand, which is much thinner than molasses, and poured way too aggressively and ended up with probably about 1/4 cup of vanilla.  At least.  Whoops!  I tasted the batter and they tasted quite alcohol-y.  Once they cooked in the oven, they were fine.

My husband ate one and said they were good. But they needed more vanilla.  No joke.
