Let's get ready to .... bake!

It's Cookie Time!!!

Actually, John and I are going to be spending the next few days baking as many cookies as we can.  John volunteered me to bake 4 dozen cookies for a GSO event on Saturday (the Graduate Student Organization Fall Festival), and then signed me up to bring something to a luncheon at church on Sunday.  Monday, we're having a lunch party at work to celebrate Boss's day and two office birthdays for the month of October.

So ... Cookies for everyone!

Yesterday I picked up some ingredients and handy tools to help us make a bunch of cookies - like a cookie cooling rack.  I'd been using the rack from my toaster oven, but that's not really ideal.  I also tried to find some cookie cutters, but either Publix doesn't stock cookie cutters or I was looking in all the wrong places.  Maybe I can get John to run to the drugstore to pick some up.

Since John is the one that volunteered me - I've roped him into helping me bake.  Tonight we're going to make up a whole bunch of cookie batter to chill overnight.  Friday night we're going to actually bake everything, and possibly create more batter.

Thankfully we don't have to decorate the cookies - the whole point is to have cookies for people to decorate at the fair.

I'm super excited.  I will try to remember to take pictures so that I can post pictures with the recipe.
