4. That is actually a pic from the Minnesota State Fair, where Sweet Martha's is a perennial
favorite (along with Walleye on a stick and deep-fried cheese curds). You buy the cookies by the bucket:


Oh baby; hot off of the pan, and then you go hit the milk booth (not freshly pumped, and NOT by me)

:hi:

10. That's our, er, schtick-- stuff on a stick! EVERYTHING! Even
deep-fried snickers bars on a stick! I shit you not! It's a Minnesota State Fair tradition.

I saw a totally highlarious t-shirt at the fair one year-- it was a picture of Jesus on the cross and the tagline was "Savior on a stick". Baaaah!

:D

5. I just finished baking oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips, cinnamon chips
and pecans in them. And made a batch of snickerdoodle dough to chill overnight.
Tomorrow I will make Toll House Cookies, Chocolate Shadow cookies, and maybe one other kind.

I have to take snacks to Sunday School, 2 dozen for the United Methodist General Conference registration booths, another round of some sort of snacks to my Tuesday night Bible Study, and my daughter wants some for her road trip. Oh yeah we are celebrating a couple of employment anniversaries @ work so I will take a plate of cookies into the ofice.

All these things kept accumulating to be due at the same time, which is why I decided to just make it cookies for all the occasions.

My oatmeal cookie recipe says 48 cookies. I got 68 out of that recipe, not to mention the cookie dough I ate.

6. Those all sound wonderful, ESPECIALLY the oatmeal cookies! I honesty could
exist on nothing else but my mother's monster cookies.

Temeah's Theological Axiom #11: Cookies are strong evidence for the existence of God! :P :hi:

11. cookies are indeed a gift of the gods. Baked the Snickerdoodles today,
made the Toll House and baked and just finished Chocolate Snickerdoodle dough to chill. Chocolate Shadows are a combo peanut butter and chocolate cookie, where the dough is marbled. The chocolate part also has peppermint extract in it. These were a daughter request.
I have a couple more chocolate ones I may consider. One is a refrigerator cookie (slice and bake, chocolate) and the other is called Double Chocolate. Melted semisweet chips in the batter, and cocoa in the dry ingredients. No nuts The photo is divine looking.

I am actually having fun with this. Nothing but cookie baking all day long, mostly....very therapeutic

Dividing them up amongst all the destinations will be tricky since my daughter claimed ownership of the oatmeal ones last night. I told her she had to share, since she was getting Chocolate Shadows too.

12. Chocolate snickerdoodles turned out great.
I messed up the Chocolate Shadows, blended the chocolate in too well, so they are a light chocolate color all over. They do taste good though.

It may be 22 dozen in all

14. Cookies are proof that God loves us & wants us to be happy.
Same with beer.
