My sister Kristi is entering the Pilsbury Million Dollar Bake Off, for her AMAZING cookies. I have been the test taster for every variation she has come up with and she even trusted me with the recipe, so she could see if a baking idiot could replicate the recipe (which by the way I did--woo hoo, not such an idiot after all).
The reason all of this is not a good thing----I have a weakness for all things round and named cookie. Cakes, pies, pastries can go moldy for all I care,,,but cookies...MMMMM!!! These cookies of Kristi's are very large and very rich!!!! So much so, that Richele can only take a bite or two. Mom just eats around the edges leaving the extremely rich middle of secret gooey goodness. Chad breaks a cookie in half and is done for the evening. But Kami-girl, yah, she can down 4 cookies before they are even cooled on the rack and polish off 2 more after the boys are in bed without a second thought (ziggy piggy). And that was just my test batch. With Mom's test batch, I ate one before I even said Hi as I walked in her kitchen. Then I took 2 more home--One for Chad and one for my lunch the next day. Well, I finished off Chad's while I cooked dinner and ate the one I tried so hard to save for the next day after the boys were in bed. I am SO weak.
I should be the size of my house,,,,obviously anxiety burns a ton of calories.
What do I learn from all of this????
Cookies, not a good thing.....anxiety burning calories, very good thing.
Strangely enough I haven't gained much weight from the cookies either! I haven't lost weight either....but that is neither here nor there. I'm still not sure what I'm going to name the cookies yet....
ReplyDeleteI literally laughed out loud when I read that you ate Chad's. Probably because I have done that to Matt more than a few times. When we first married I told Matt that I loved him so much I would even share my cookies with him. Then I thought about it and I took it back. That would require more will power than I have. Thank goodness for anxiety calorie burning.
ReplyDeleteI usually am not that sappy. Just the honey moon period.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you...I have absolutely NO self-control when it comes to cookies. That's one reason I'm glad I'm not around for Pat's holiday sugar cookies. I think I would eat the whole plate in one sitting. I am SO jealous you were trusted with the recipe...what can I do to bribe Kristi to give it to me too? I promise I won't share it!
ReplyDeleteI think I need to taste these cookies! Then again, probably not since anxiety sure does not seem to take care of what cookies do to me!
ReplyDeleteI have no self control over goodies like that. That is why I must restrain myself from making cookies or brownies or other delicious treats. I can eat the entire batch before the kids go to bed. Rich has often come home asking where the bag of homemade cookies are and I have to embarrassingly say we ate them all. Of course, when I saw "we" what I really mean is that each of my kids had one cookie and I snacked on the rest throughout the day. It's horrible!
