This evening is the one evening I have been looking forward to for about a month now. I get to see some girlfriends that I haven't seen in a long time. Some of the ladies I haven't seen since 1996. I am attending a cookie exchange. When I got the invite I was so excited. I tampered with about 7 different recipes for cookies until I decided that none where what I really wanted and went out on my own. I create my own recipe which will be featured in the Poor Man's Collection (due out before I die). I tested the recipe 3 times. Each time the cookies came out delectable. Until last night. When I needed to make 7 dozen cookies to take. The cookies still taste good but their texture is more of a cake like cookie. Not a fan! I am taking them with me because I don't have the time to go out and buy more ingredients and besides the frosting needs to dry and harden. blah! Also, my daughter is attending with me and she still needs to bake her cookies.
If my planning goes right, we should come home with 14 dozen cookies. All different kinds. This exchange sounds like it will be huge. There are 14 ladies coming and we are asked to bake 7 dozen. With my thinking that means, everyone will receive a half dozen cookies of each kind. Let's hope. I would love to be able to bring home that many different kinds of cookies for my family to try. I plan on freezing most of them and bringing them out on a "as needed" basis. But with 3 major sweet tooth's in this family I am sure they will likely sneak them.
