Pure Magnolias

ngredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• Blue food coloring (gel works best!)

Optional Percy Power-Ups:

• Blue sprinkles or sanding sugar
• White chocolate chips for that “clouds over the sea” vibe

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
4. Add a few drops of blue food coloring until you reach that Camp Half-Blood-approved hue.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually stir into the wet mixture.
6. Fold in chocolate chips (and white chocolate chips or sprinkles if using).
7. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet.
8. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
9. Cool for a few minutes, then devour like a demigod after a quest.
