Betty Crocker Strikes Again

Tonight I was feeling a little Betty Crockerish and baked three kinds of cookies. Dan and I are going to the beach for Labor Day weekend and I thought Dan's friends would enjoy some home baking. My mom is an amazing baker and the gene passed me up when I was born (although I do like to cook). Hopefully after more practice I will be able to compete with my mom!




I guilted Dan into rolling out the balls of dough. I reminded him time after time that they were for him and his friends. Not very often do I let him help me in the kitchen as he makes more of a mess than he is a help. Tonight I was desperate!!










You can't go wrong with chocolate chip cookies. This is my mom's recipe and they never turn out like hers....but still delicious!











Soft, chewy ginger snaps are Dan's favorite.










Snicker doodles are my personal choice.

Impressive! You have good taste in cookies! Chocolate chip are a given, but gingersnaps and snickerdoodles are also my very very favorite!!!!

Mmm, I love snickerdoodles. I haven't had gingersnaps in a long time. I bet I would love them if they are soft like you described. Hmmm, maybe I'll try those out this week....
