Print Your Own Wride's Guide Cookbook

Thanks to Google Drive, I'm including links to the cookbook files so that you can print your very own copy of Wride's Guide to Good Home Cookin'!

Materials:

Besides a printer, you'll need:

  • a 2" binder with clear sleeve for cover

  • 80-120 lbs. cardstock for cover and dividers

  • 20 lbs. printer paper

  • 3-hole punch

Optional: 70 sheet protectors (for both dividers and interior recipe pages). The dividers print file includes DIY tabs, so you can choose to attach matching tabs to the dividers for a papercrafty-look (see images at end of post), OR slip divider pages into sheet protectors. *I highly recommend that all the recipe pages are put in sheet protectors, unless you're an immaculate cook without elvish helpers.

 

Easy access to all cookbook files:

Wride's Guide to Good Home Cookin': all files in a Google Drive folder

 

All the pieces-parts of the cookbook:

Exterior: Cookbook Cover (full color, print on cardstock)

Interior: Cookbook Dividers (full color, print on cardstock, single-sided)

Interior: Original 2006 Recipes (b/w, print on regular printer paper, double-sided)

Interior: Additional 2008 Recipes (b/w, print on regular printer paper, double-sided)

 

Please enjoy this recipe collection worth hoarding, but also worth sharing. Bon Apetit!

Better-Than-Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

1 c. butter, softened
3/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. brown sugar, packed
1 t. vanilla
2 large eggs
2-3/4 to 3 c. all-purpose flour
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
Chocolate chips

Mix butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly. Add soda, salt and 2 cups flour and mix. Add remaining flour 1/4 c. at a time until desired consistency is reached (dough should be slightly tacky when you touch it, and little or no dough should remain on your finger if you touch it). Stir in chocolate chips.

Bake 9-11 minutes at 375 degrees.

I like to use milk chocolate chips and Heath toffee bits. So yummy.
