Eagle eyes will have caught me scrapping the first batch of Snickerdoodle dough and remaking it. Why? Because accidentally doubling the amount of butter and tripling the amount of baking soda and cream of tartar creates spackling compound -- not cookie dough.
But it was a successful evening, all told. After scrubbing the oven out (with baking soda and a brillo pad -- no more toxic oven cleaner for me!) I successfully baked a small batch of chocolate chip cookies...
...and a batch of minty chocolate stars (to be decorated later)...
...and after disappearing to watch Jim get fired from The Apprentice:Martha (sob! I wubbed Jim!) I took a pic of what this whole mess looks like from where I stand.
I'm very impressed with the quality of my webcam. The cookiecam this year isn't much different from last year when I used my Sony Handicam! Now I'm going to go watch Dawna kick Bethenny's butt and take Martha's Apprentice job.
Tomorrow night I may be shopping, so cookiecam may reappear Friday night.
