Happy Wednesday!! It has been a very busy day here but that isn't anything new. Lots of Science Olympiad practices coming up. Our big event is only a few weeks away. I read my recipe yesterday and made the mistake of thinking this is an easy one, no prob. It was easy, just not early as I had planned. I was sure I set my butter out to soften this morning, I was going to run to the grocery store for the only ingredient I didn't have which was the 2 cups of nuts. I ended up talking to Shelly and before I knew it it was time to go to school for our bugs practice. (For anyone interested I am Cameron's coach for one of his events called "Don't bug me") So off to school I go, then to the grocery store with all of my coupons (thanks Bargains to Bounty:), and home to mix my batter. Once home I realize my butter has not been sitting out so it could become room temperature, it is still very chilled in the fridge. Thankfully my microwave has this wonderful button to soften butter so I did that. Mixed all of my ingredients and was ready to start forming balls at ten til four. Then I realize the dough has to chill at least an hour, so in the fridge it goes. The boys came home we had dinner, then I realize I do not have time to bake because both boys have practice for Science Olympiad at 6:30. Out the door we go, dropped one off at school to shoot rubber bands and the other one at Phoebes to study mammals. Then off to the Onyx Ice Arena for a friends sons hockey game. Back to pick up the boys and finally home at 8:30.
Time to start baking. The rest could not have gone smoother, I could fit almost 30 balls on a sheet per time so only three rotations of cookies. Rolling in the powdered sugar was a bit dusty(thank goodness for my super cute apron:) Once I had about 10 cooled I took my picture and now I am going to go back and finish. Ladies don't leave chess club without your cookies in the morning!!

ReplyDeleteNo kidding, I feel like I'm running but that pen really put it to paper. They look great. I will try not to forget to get them at 7:30 chess.
ReplyDeleteDanielle, I was getting tired just reading your blog! You are one busy girl (as well as the other gals too). Your cookies look terific peeking through the glass! Another fine job. Theresa G.
ReplyDeleteThis really shows that busy people get more done! All that and even found time to bake.
ReplyDeleteI love these cookies and have eaten similar ones off of others' cookie platters but now I have the best recipe to make my own! They melt in your mouth.
