Cookie time





The cold continues in the Utah air. Lots of announcements and news about how cold it is people begging the public to stay inside to not expose themselves to the super cold temperatures. I mean it's totally uncomfortable no question about it and it's dicey perhaps but I don't think it's as dangerous as they make it out to be. I think it just adds more flavor or stress to the newscast they love to keep everyone on edge but still it's cold enough that willing to stay in the apartment as much as I can and not go out unless I have to. I may have to go out in the next day or so to take the garbage out if I can't talk my home health person into doing it. Other than that I'm pretty much staying in the building and to make matters worse I think there's something wrong with my heating unit which I may have gotten into some explanation earlier posts. But now it's noticeable even to my home health person who loves the cold all I know is it's very uncomfortable tonight I sort of kept the Heat or temperature at a survivable level by cooking. Ever since I made those bizarre little oatmeal cookies a couple weeks ago I've had in the drive to want to make some more but to do it more the way that I remember making oatmeal cookies so today I downloaded a seemingly fairly decent recipe off the internet. Sadly I must report all the good works at Jackson my quasi grandson-in-law produced on my apartment cleaning it on Sunday I've been pretty much blown out of the water. I've got flour everywhere as well as ingredient scattered from the kitchen table to the refrigerator into the sink. Think I've got all the bowls right now that need to be washed immediately in the sink there was a little bit of cookie dough left when I had finished putting all the cookie dough on the cookie sheet. There's enough cookie dough the piece on if I wanted to but really that's too much sugar in I don't know how safe eating uncooked to cook cookie dough can be. It shouldn't be much of a problem I mean people do it all the time especially kids but it's enough of a good excuse that I can just wash the rest of it down the sink when I try to wash dishes tomorrow if not wash a couple of the mixing bowls tonight and get it out of the way. Now I'm just kept focus on putting all the ingredients away the vanilla and cinnamon sugar brown sugar White and white flour. Eggs are in the fridge and the pizza pan I used for the cookie sheet we'll need to have some scrubbing a little but it's easy to do all things being equal. I came out with about 10 to 12 cookies. I think I made them too big the recipe said I should have around 24 cookies. I also cooked them longer than the recipe called for because the recipe actually even noted that if I went over the cookie time that they specified the cookies would lose their doughy Center and I guess a lot of people love the doughy Center. On myself like a cookie that crunches like in the old days. It seem like I remember when chocolate chip cookies started coming out all gooey and I don't know who but some other power or some other entity tried to push that whole gooey cookie thing but I didn't buy it. I like my cookies crisp like a good sugar snap and who doesn't like a good Ginger Snap..?
