Day 13 Chocolate Chip

I am always amazed at how many requests I get for plain old chocolate chip.  I guess people don't bake that much any more.  I do have a special secret that makes mine extra good, I make my own vanilla.  I take a big bottle of inexpensive vodka, slice open about 10 vanilla beans and put them in it.  Leave it on my counter and shake it every day for a month or so.  This is a great way to make a large amount of really good quality vanilla!!
