[Sca-cooks] cookie monster

[Kathleen A Roberts]

geez, some mornings i shouldn't be allowed near a 
computer.

the xmas cookies are done and i don't wanna see another 
cookie for three months!  dear heart informed me at 
thanksgiving he wanted a box-o-cookies for the 
distribution center that employs his delivery services. 
 oh, just about 40 people in all!  sheesh!!!  of course, i 
was doing double batches so i would have some for the 
final bakesale we were doing (raised over a grand en toto, 
ain't that grand!) 8)

choc chip, cocoa crinkles, oatmeal, cherry choc chip, 
coconut, pnut butter, spritz, gingersnaps, ginger cut 
outs, spice, jam thumbprints, choc coated brown sugar itsy 
bitsy canape size with jimmies, dipped pretzels, sugar 
cookies cut and decorated and green chili sugar cookies.

that's right...real hatch green chili in the brown sugar 
cookie dough.  pureed the green chili and substituted it 
for some of the milk.  added some green food dye to 
seperate from the chili shaped sugar cookies.  chopped 
some green chili finely and added that as well.  they had 
a bit of heat from the chili, the aroma and taste and the 
chopped chili got sort of candied during the baking.   i 
bagged them seperately and put a warning on them, and they 
have been pretty well received.  and i have to admit, it 
was the husband's idea while watching me cut out the chili 
shaped sugar cookies.

cailte
still trying to get the fairy dust cookie decoration out 
of my fingers...
