Who wants cookies? I made a batch. YUMMY! Walnut chocolate chip. The preferred flavor for 1920s style death rays everywhere! ---

Oh man do I love cookies. Someone made homemade cookies last week for our fantasy football draft - first homemade cookies in about 6 months. Anyone who wants to send me a care package full of cookies and other homemade goodies has my permission. ---

I just made Bob the Builder and Scoop cookies. I iced the Bobs to look like Village People, then I iced blonde hair and make up on the Scoops. Mmm, they are chewy. ---

The secret is to keep the dough cold. If you let it get warm and runny (as often happens when you make a double batch) you get flat runny cookies. Of course flat runnies can’t be served to guests so you have to eat them all yourself. ---

Mmm—chocolate chocolate chunk are my favorite. I used to make cookies that were a combination of oatmeal and Toll House—with raisins, and pecans, and chocolate chips. Mmmmm…shall I make some, Dan? :: setting out glasses of ice cold milk :: ---

I would like to know why people ruin perfectly good cookies by placing things like walnuts in them. I mean, I expect to bite into a soft, warm cookie, that practically melts in your mouth; to have it ruined by hard, unyeilding walnuts just makes me want to hurt people.
