Poor Me
The total of my investments has been down for a couple of weeks and today, from that low position it is sinking fast. Pretty soon I'm going to have to send Biggie out to get a paying gig.
So... I made cookies. I tried to get by on store bought. I really tried but man, has that ship sailed. I broke down today and there is a batch in the baker right this minute. Whew. And then I'll need to make a batch for the freezer for those cookie emergencies when we are really really poor.
I did the slab/cut trick again and it worked great. I roll out the dough until it is the size of my pan. Then I put the whole slab onto parchment paper, into the pan and into the oven. As soon as it comes out of the oven, I cut it into squares/rectangles/whatever cookie shapes I feel like. I just make the cuts. I wait until it is cool to break them apart.
Really easy and the come out just like I want them to.
And now the cookies are done. The kitchen is clean and it would be time for me to settle back into my chair with my crochet hook and some crime and cops on TV and I would except Biggie got here first. He's settled into my chair. Now I'm going to have to treat trick him into moving.
