Cookies, Cookies & More Cookies

The Best Peanut Butter Cookies are to die for! They're the ultimate homemade cookie. White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies, so rich & buttery, you'll have trouble stopping!

I've been in the cookie mood for a while now. I got a new book called "Martha Stewart's Cookies". This book is amazing! Every recipe has a picture of what the cookie is supposed to look like when it comes out of the oven. I say, supposed to, but that's not always the case.

The Best Cookies!

For example, years ago when we had the bakery, I had a lot of cookies ordered. It was Christmas time and I always made HUGE platters to sell. There were all sorts of fancy shaped cookies, White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies, drop cookies, nut cookies, rolled cookies, The Best Peanut Butter Cookies, etc. Well, you get the picture.

I've always had a REAL bad habit of saying yes to something I've never made before! Yes, I know, not very bright! This time was no different. I can't remember what kind of cookies they were, what book they came out of or what they were supposed to look like. I didn't want to waste my precious time, so I multipled the recipe by five. The only problem was, once I got into the recipe, the phone rang and interupted me. I went back to the recipe thinking I knew right where I was. NOT!

Cookies?

What a mess I had! I obviously put way too much liquid and levening in the dough. The "cookie" had run all over the sheet and down the sides. It was one big puddle of goo. Good tasting goo I might add! There was no way I could sell that disaster! So, all my time and effort didn't save me a hill of beans. It cost me way more in the long run and I had to start all over again. Sigh....
