MILLION DOLLAR COOKIES




Hi Ya! So I am going to share with you a pretty sweet secret recipe today Infact ok some would call it the Money recipe. Cash money money Honey! As you know my brother is here visiting from Whistler BC. I do religiously send him his favorite’s treats in the mail bi-weekly. (Yes what sisters do for big brothers who get skinny if they don’t eat enough….) but he is here so I am keeping his heart and belly happy. Today was my day off I was out on the bike for long - and I am a bit “sun kissed” (smashing pumpkins ... amazing song ) more or so I am yep pretty sun kissed GOLDEn right now lets just say. Feeling pretty dang golden right now, This has inspired me to share my golden ticket recipe “ for MY Million Dollar Cookies. I am sharing it with you because what good is a million dollars if ya cant share it! You get these beauties in the oven- then we will have Not just one million dollar cookie recipe- but Two million dollar cookies!:) The more the merrier…





Now ladies let me just warn you. These golden beauties are like some REAL SERIOUS COIN you will want to keep in your purse or you know back pocket…ect . So get this sweet recipe down. Be inspired! I tell ya flip out one of these treasures in a mouth after a long day and you will have more then just the regular tarzan boy love chasing after ya heart … http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_Q13Bd1exc ( sorry just have to ad in the song --- Tarzan boy – baltimora—you know the uhhohhh ohhhh calls Jungle love…. Love worth a million bucks) And Jesus ok I hope you are pretty excited about these babies. Shim shimmer….


Million Dollar Cookies
• 1cup butter
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• ½ cup crunchy peanut butter
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2cup packed brown sugar- (keeps the dark undertone of a caramel flavor, also helps keep the finished product rich Golden color )
• 3 spoonsies of vanilla
• 1 egg
• ¼ cup cornstarch – secret ingredient- SHH I said shhhhh…. Helps keep em chewy when we bake them super slow or almost under bake them for this purpose… it’s the secret… the cornstarch works similar to egg and BINDs together without that egg cakey-ness
BLEND together make sure butter is whipped well. Whip it good. Real good.
• 1 teaspoon soda and powder -little louder now-
• 3 cups flower
• 1 cup quick cooking oats
• 1-2 cup butta- scotch yep I said BUTTERSCOTCH chips
• Scor toffee hunks (they look like golden nuggets... but really are the toffee!)
• 2 cups corn flakes – optional if you want crunch with
• 1 cup flaked coconut
• I decorated with some gold pearls- I mean peril balls 


Toss in the dry ingredients- kinda like the treasures and the sand- you’re throwing into the wet ingredients…
Shape and bake at 325F Slow for 20 minutes. Slow and efficient so they come forth as PURE gold!! Soft and sweet and chewy these million dollar beauties are going to help you get your way any day! Help MAKE A WAY that is! 




So ok now here is my million dollar word for you- we Trust a recipe. We have faith in a “recipe” formula or plan we may pull out of a book- ( believing that our finished product will come out as the one in the picture - that’s faith eh? … ok maybe hope… or ok maybe a plea for mercy or gods miraculous grace for some who really just cant cook… ha) we put all of our ingredients together to whip up the perfect batch weather we even understand the formula looks right or not …. -We trust that recipe with the variables, measurements and ingredients listed…. Then... the heat gets turned up we put these cookies in a scary dark oven all alone and ha WE even trust ourselves to guard that oven timer as these beauties bake and bronze in oven to come out yet ever so golden and chewy. Wow.

So like uh… on a more important scale. Why can’t we simply just trust Gods recipe for our lives like we would follow a recipe? He has promised us to come forth as gold don’t ya know!? Ha well its not that easy is it. We get a heck of a lot of variables thrown at us- time frames, measurements, difficult people ect and also temptation to believe LIES - we go thru some pretty darn hot hot heat waves too eh?? But Truth is god has promised to never mislead or forsake us even when his recipe seems “odd” or completely not what we expect - and that he knows the ways that we take- the decisions we take—when the refiners heat gets turned up- he is testing us- sometimes its pretty hot – but in the end the truth is- that we will come forth as the gold he promises a sure fine million dollar prize.

"But he knows the way that I take;
"When he has tested me, I WILL COME FORTH AS GOLD" (job 23:10)




There really is no recipe for success. If there was we would all be successful at baking only one flavor of cookies. We should all know by now what worked for one person is not going to work the same for you even with my recipe above- that’s why I call it an outline. BE inspired! It’s the same with why we need gods Words to be our guideline for our million dollar lives in this “master crafted” million dollar love .....where we have million dollar gifts, talents and skills.
Only god has the recipe for our lives because only he can supply us with the Perfect ingredients and variables to shine forth as his golden beauties! We get caught up even as women to TRY find that perfect glass slipper or even get jealous or envious of women having what we think we want or deserve. When really…. Hello! We should just TRUST that god already has ours made! And truth is this million dollar slipper is far greater then we could ask or imagine because his heavenly perfection already has it in the recipe of our million dollar lives! - So come on now we can stop trying and trust him for that! An elder mentor i have reminds me all the time to “Cydney…. STOP trying and just start trusting more. Stop trying and TRUST- be confident and stand strong in the faith TRUST trust trust trust god for everything in everything- he promises you that no matter what we will come forth as gold-! He already has you as a gem on his crown so “shine on happy glow girl!”

"Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the LORD our God” (psalm 20:7)



Trust this miraculous love being perfected in us lasts forever and that in this love we have WORTH- He paid a prime dime for us it cost us nothing but we get this incredible promise to always come forth as gold- a million dollar prize. Jesus sounds pretty sweet to me! In this worth- we have gifts, talents and skills that are FAR MORE then a million….. Canaries (Luke 12:6)! God wants to birth in all of us more then just what we can see from the right or left. I have to remind myself that God is our promoter of our gifts and talents. again I can say we can try and try and try and some of us keep rummaging and looking to the left or right – to a man or woman--- this or that —but why not just Trust God! We all know what areas this can apply to.

“No one from the east or the west
or from the desert can exalt themselves.
It is God who is your PROMOTER
He brings one down, he exalts another” (Psalm 75: 6-7)






Ok WELL I need to go have a "cash money cookie" and glass of milk before I start counting the million flying sheep I know are going to be in my dreams tonight! Thanks for reading! I am praying that god would release a million dollar dream in your heart and spark up a million dollar desire to achieve you never ever thought possible. Trusts this million dollar love and be inspired GOD IS FAITHFUL FOR you shall come forth as gold! God is your Promoter! And the first million he will birth in you is just the beginning.... Golden.... again i say Golden. :)

Love love love
