After five hours of cookie making I am starting to feel like a Keebler elf. However, I learned a couple of things yesterday, like first and foremost I need another cookie sheet, second two ovens would be nice, and third so would an assistant, but the additional cookie sheet is really most likely of them all.
I do enjoy the process of making cookies, specifically dealing with different cookie types. I chose my recipes from the Martha Stewart Cookie cookbook with separates the cookies by the following types: Light and delicate, Chunky and Nutty, Crisp and Crunchy, Soft and Chewy, Cakey and Tender, Rich and Dense and then lastly, Crumbly and Sandy. I like to think of cookies in terms of these categories and then decide from there which ones I want to make.
From Crumbly and Sandy I made Rosemary Butter cookies. Sounds like an odd pairing, but these are delicious.
