Deanna's recipe for baking cookies

[dr4b]

1. Take out three sticks of butter. Place on counter.

2. Play DDR for half an hour while butter is warming up to room temperature.

3. Dump flour, baking powder, salt etc in a bowl. Stir.

4. Go look for electric mixer. Swear a lot. Find electric mixer.

5. Beat the butter and sugar to a pulp.

6. Add other stuff to the mixture. Mix more.

7. Put whole bowl of crap in fridge. Play DDR for another hour while waiting for mixture to chill.

8. Wash off sweaty arms and hands. Roll dough out on board. Use cookie cutters obtained at Ralph and Lori's wedding last year to cut lots of cookies. Bake cookies.

9. Take shower to remove outer layer of DDR sweat and cookie dough and flour.

10. Whee! Cookies!

11. Decorate cookies OR play more DDR.

12. Find people to foist your cookies on after realizing you can't eat seven dozen of them.


Fortunately, I am still at stage 2 of this 12-step plan. But I think it will work out okay.

Updated, 3:45pm: Now I am at stage 7, waiting for the dough to cool. I realized there are some other steps in there: 3a. clean flour and junk off counter. 6a. clean flour and junk off counter. 6b. swear more when you realize the mixer smells like burning metal and you still don't think the dough is mixed well enough.

i think 6c. will be "go to geagle and look for stuff to decorate cookies with", as I just took a shower anyway.

My usual strategy is to step in around step 10. :)

I want cookies! :)

Though you can also just microwave the butter to melt it, that's what I do - it's easier to mix in that way too.
