The best ever: I’ve probably said this before about a chocolate chip cookie recipe, but I’ve found one that is infinitely better.  The recipe calls for cake and bread flour (instead of all-purpose), and it does wonders for the texture.  My cake flour was thrown out, but a substitution worked just fine!  
The baking time was way too long at 18-20 minutes.  Thankfully I checked the first batch before then, but they were still overbaked.  I had to store them in a container with a slice of bread so they would soak up its moisture!  Ten minutes is a more realistic baking time, pictured.
Oh, and I used dark chocolate chips, YUM.

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are delicious.
My notes:
Definitely warm up the eggs to room temperature.
Only use the mixer to cream the butter and sugar.  Mix by hand for the rest (it’s too easy to overmix otherwise)

Ughh.  My belly is way too full of apple pie. 
I think my insides have turned into pie.

So…this exists.

YUM.
