I'm baking cookies again!
Yeah, like anything else is new.
Well, this time it's a recipe called Grammy's Chocolate Cookies, which called for oodles of butter, oodles of sugar, a single oodle of cocoa powder, and a double oodle of vanilla extract.
I made the dough before we went out for drinks and dinner, letting the dough chill in the refridgerator. The recipe, published by Martha Stewart, then called for rolling the dough in one-inch balls (nice of her to tell us, in case anyone was wondering) and then dipping her the balls in yet more sugar.
That's the one place where I'm taking a variance from the original recipe, as I'm dipping them in a variety of colored sugars. It's the holidays, and I owe it to myself to make things festive.
I'll post again later about how the cookies come out.
