In her new book, Tate’s Bake Shop Cookbook, with a forward by Ina Garten, Kathleen shares her best-selling recipes and more. Her cookbook is “full of classic, crowd-pleasing American desserts, all made with good fresh ingredients.” According to Kathleen, “All the recipes in this book should take less time to make than it would to go to a store to buy a commercially prepared baked good, so they’re perfect for the busy holiday season when baked goodies are in high demand.”

- 2 cups all-purpose pour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup salted butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 teaspoon vanila

- Add the eggs and mix them lightly. Stir in the flour mixture. Fold in the chocolate chips. Don’t overmix the dough.
- Drop the cookies 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets using two tablespoons or an ice cream scoop. (*I did do an ice-cream scoop and they ended up TOO big!I then dropped them with a tablespoon size. PERFECT size!)
