If you give a Karis a Cookie...


Almost every week we bake a new batch of cookies (because we eat a few dozen a week). Thankfully we have some great cookbooks, our main cookie cookbook is Martha Stewart's Cookies, though Rosie's Bakery All-Butter, Fresh Cream, Sugar-Packed, No-Holds-Barred Baking Book is our overall baking cookbook (pies, cakes, etc...).

This week I made (finished an house ago) "Hershey's Perfect Special Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies" - which isn't in our Martha Stewart book.

Last week's were "Cakey Chocolate Chip Cookies," with butterscotch chips instead of chocolate. One really nice thing about the Martha Stewart book is that it's divided into different sections: Light and Delicate, Soft and Chewy, Crumbly and Sandy, Chunky and Nutty, Cakey and Tender, Crisp and Crunchy, and Rich and Dense.

And the week before that were Snickerdoodles (ours don't have cream of tartar - who new most did?), which I had heard of but don't think I ever had before Karis first made me them a few months ago (actually, I might have had them before that, just didn't know what the name was).

  1. Hi guys...go to Smittenkitchen.com and make the world peace cookies (I think they have a real name, but someone nicknamed them that because if everyone ate them there would be no more conflict). I made them a few weeks ago and loved them!
