2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

2. Scoop down sides then combine in the chocolate chips
3. From into 1 inch dough balls on an ungreased cookie sheet and press down slightly to form the cookies into mounds

One more day for this Silk Milk deal!

  For those in the southeast, ending tomorrow night, Publix has Silk brand almond and soy milk 2 for 5 dollars which is a great deal (cheaper than costco).  Make sure to stock up! (almond and soy milk has a long expiration date but must be used within 7 days once opening).
