Baking this batch of cookies was the most fun I have had baking in years! I had help, lots of help from my youngest son. When I started pulling out the ingredients, Rew pulled out the step-stool and asked for a spoon. He stayed with me and helped through the whole process. The funny thing is, he doesn’t even like chocolate, he was just so proud to be helping with a grown up chore.

I created this recipe for my oldest son, by modifying a basic chocolate chip cookie recipe. He is such a big help around the property and I have found that the perfect way to thank a growing teenage boy is with food!

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (you can use Gluten-free all-purpose flour to make this gluten free)

    It's hard to resist double chocolate anything. Then factor in that little sales guy and your cookies become irresistable.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
