Cookies

I think I have remarked before on Brittany's making pre-made cookies: to send to a friend in the Army and for a guy on Valentine's. Since we are snowed-in by the Blizzard of '08 I decided to do a little baking today. I didn't want to take the time to place cookies on a sheet though, so I decided to make chocolate-chip cookie bars. When Brittany came into the kitchen as I was gathering my flour, sugar and chocolate chips from the pantry and told her I was making cookies, she asked me, "Do you have mix?" And when I said no, most people make cookies from scratch and the recipe is even on the bag of Tollhouse morsels, she was in shock. Apparently Brittany's mom had informed her it was impossible to make cookies on one's own- that it was too hard and they didn't come out well.

So mothers, do not fail your children as Brittany has been failed.
