Sandwiches, Raspberry Salad, and Chocolate Chip Cookies

Since I'm going to be out of town tomorrow, I have prepared lunch early and left the items for a lovely sandwich bar in the fridge. the cookies turned out a bit more *ahem* crispy than I intended, so I have altered the recipe below to reflect the changes I would have made. There are gluten free cookies in a box in the fridge.

Sandwichs
Serves 8-12

Ingredients:
Bread (there is also gluten free bread in the fridge too)
Mayo
Mustard
Lettuce (there is a small box with the rest of the sandwich fixings)
Tomato (these will need to be sliced)
Cucumber (this will need to be sliced)
Red onion (this will need to be sliced, remember to cut from the top and to peel away the papery skin on the outside)
Sliced meat (there are 3 kinds, go nuts)
Sliced cheese (there are 3 kinds, mix and match)

Preparation:
1. It's a sandwich, just layer the stuff inside making sure that the condiments are on the bread and the tomato isn't touching the bread and you'll be fine.
2. Stuff your gob with deliciousness.

Raspberry Salad
Serves 8-12

Ingredients:
1 large box of herb salad mix
2 containers of raspberries
1 bag of mixed seeds
raspberry salad dressing

Preparation:
1. Place a bit of each of the ingredients on your plate so that you get a good amount of each yummy thing. Feel free to use some of sandwich items to make your salad even better.


Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yields 60 small cookies or fewer large cookies

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

1 cup (2 sticks) butter
3/4 cups evaporated cane juice (or regular sugar if you must)
3/4 cups brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups chocolate chips (I like the mini ones)

Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl mix together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In another large bowl, cream together butter, sugars, and vanilla until everything is combined.
4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until thoroughly incorporated before adding the next egg.
5. Add the flour mixture a bit at a time to insure that there isn't flour all over your kitchen.
6. Once all of the dough is combine, add the chocolate chips (this is where you would also add other goodies if altering the recipe, like nuts or dried fruit or other candy).
7. Drop cookie dough onto an ungreased baking sheet using a spoon, spacing them to try to avoid them merging together.
8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until golden brown. If wanting to have extra crispy cookies, bake for 20 minutes or until darker brown. Remove cookies to cool on a wire rack.
