Cookies

[semperfiona]

Rosa and I just made a big batch of cookies. These are my speciality "Kitchen Sink Cookies"--which come out different every time depending on what I have on hand--and they have all sorts of interesting ingredients. Mashed bananas. Chocolate chips. M&M's. Oatmeal. Golden raisins. Dried cherries. Dried cranberries. Black walnuts. A bit of maple flavoring. Cocoa. Crushed candy canes (this last was Rosa's idea).
Over all they turned out pretty well, though I don't think I'll use black walnuts again. They're a bit too strong-tasting.
Making cookies with a two-year-old is quite an adventure. I was sort of expecting to have a horrible mess afterwards, and that did not happen. She helped put in the mix-ins, and stir the batter, and drop the cookies on the cookie sheet...and eat the finished product.
Now she's asleep on the couch and I'm resting.

Homemade cookies...

And she bakes, too? ;)

I haven't made cookies in ages. I have a recipe for my Auntie Gwen's chocolate chip cookies that I love. And they're so easy. (Auntie Gwen isn't actually any sort of relative. She was the cook at the non-fraternity where my father lived during med school. He hired her, and I was nearly born in the house, and spent many of my formative years in her kitchen.) I guess the reason I love them is because they taste like my childhood... *ponder*

It had been far too long, as I realized when I was doing the Twenty Things I Like exercise. So Fi made happy cookies yesterday and is now happy Fi. (Well, I've been happy Fi for some two-three weeks now, thanks hon...)

I'm a good cook, too. ;-) If I say so myself. It's something I really enjoy doing, though my tiny kitchen makes it very difficult and depressing. Only six more weeks till I get my house back, and a real kitchen!

I really enjoy cooking, too. And, like you, our apartment's kitchen is entirely too small and very non-cooking conducive. Oh well. Most apartment kitchens aren't.

I think I'm going to bake cookies this afternoon to take into work. Matt and I aren't supposed to be having sweeties, because we're trying to get healthy, but I *need* to bake.
