2. Assemble your ingredients in order they will be used. ( Where did the ginger go now?)
3. If you are easily distracted you might want to ban people from the kitchen. This is because that cute guy who you married might come into the kitchen while you are carefully following your recipe. As a result of him commenting that the crazy glue we had been looking for suddenly shows up in the junk drawer ( how many times did we look in that junk drawer?) you totally missed putting the four teaspoons of baking soda in the gingersnap recipe. Instead you put four teaspoons of cinnamon instead!
4. Watch cookies very carefully otherwise they will be overly cooked.( Well they sure looked like they needed more time to me!)
5. If someone comes to the door while you are trying to white chocolate and shortening for the cookie topping wanting to sell solar, be very polite and explain you are trying to do Christmas baking and cannot talk to him. (Actually you are slightly irritated in this rude intrusion)
6. Rejoice in your the fruits of your labor and even though you you missed the baking soda and put in way too much cinnamon .
Yes this all happened to me yesterday and the cookies tastes really good. They don't look like or tastes like I made mistakes.
There may be several posts coming in one after the other today and/ or tomorrow. I have a lot to post including book reviews
