Either I haven't been keeping up with my posts, or I've baked so many cookies in such a short time. I have four batches to share.
It was Mike's first Father's Day, so naturally he gets a batch of cookies (of his choosing). Only thing is, we got rather busy so he didn't get his choice until a week later.
Batch #96 was for our Dad's.
Toffee Almond Sandies
These were good cookies, but apparently don't ship well. We sent them to Indiana for my father-in-law and for my sister-in-law's birthday. I hope they shared with you Kay!
#97 Chewy Ginger Drop Cookies
This was NOT Mike's choice. He does not particularly care for ginger cookies. This was another batch that I whipped up on short notice. My Mom and I visited the current matriarch of the family . Thought it would be nice to bring cookies on our visit.
#98 Caramel Fudge Brownies
This is the recipe that looked good to Mike. Actually, he picked out a few others first, but I said no to them because they looked like ones that kids would like. I'm probably being silly, but I'm trying to save the really good looking ones for when Joey is older (and for other future children). I don't want to leave just crummy cookies. This is a 12 year project, that means it's another 10 1/2 years before I make any of these cookies again - I don't want Joey to be 10 1/2 before he gets yummy cookies.
So I bought the ingredients for this recipe and had them out on the counter. Mike came home and excitedly asked "Does Joey get to start eating baby food? Is he getting prunes?" (2 jars of baby food prunes sat on the counter)
My reply: "No, that baby food goes in your brownies"
Mike was a little less sure about his pick.
The brownies did turn out well (Mike gave them 5 smiley faces).
So if you're ever looking for a delicious treat that makes you regular, ask me for this recipe.
(They did assist us both in that regards).
#99
My conundrum lately is I seem to be choosing cookies from the same 3 chapters (they're the easiest), but I'm worried that I'll be leaving myself only difficult cookies to make (and less appealing ones).
This latest batch I made for a picnic at the Roseville parade. It was another last minute cookie. I didn't want to make a whole lot (had to make them during Joey's nap) - this batch made 4 dozen, I needed to have the ingredients in the house, and I didn't want to make a really yummy cookie that I need to save for the future for our kids.
Just in case you're wondering. The chapters are:
Cookie Jar Favorites
Chock-full of Chips
Easy Drop Cookies
(These are the 3 chapters I keep drawing from)
Timeless Slice and Bake
Shaped Sensations
Cookie Cutter Delights
Snazzy Sandwich Cookies
Unbeatable Brownies
Delectable Bars
Shortcut Creations
Christmas Classics
Big Batch Bonanza
I need to do a better job of drawing recipes from The slice and bake cookie chapter through the snazzy sandwich cookies.
