Okies in the BYC The Original

[Sooner]

Evening all. I am in the house with my chores done. Guess all is well, I had a busy day today after my meeting I braved Walmart for my angel tree gifts. I always feel good doing that. Turned the one in for the school today and will turn the other in at church on Sunday. I picked a boy & a girl that had clothes on list. I also got a small toy for each. Now to get Christmas finished for my kids an family. Sunday night we will make our soup mixes, my thing for this year. Last year I did picante sauce & BBQ sauce.

I plan to get to bed early tonight cause 4 am comes early but I sure am looking forward to seeing everyone. If any of you IHOp folks see this, be sure to flirt with the waitress so she will keep the coffee coming until my eyeballs look focused ok??

My sister had me make her cookie dough for ginger cookies when I was visiting last weekend. My recipe only makes about 2 dozen cookies, so I always make it in multiple quantities. I ended up making 12 x the recipe instructions and leaving her 3 gallon bags half full of cookie dough. I would have made her more, but both she and my mother ran out of flour, sugar and margarine.

My brother tells me that I can't call them ginger snaps because they are soft cookies.

What does he know?

So I would love to try your recipe. Since Jeannie mentioned them earlier I have been starting to crave them.

Mine come out tasting different than those that use All Purpose Flour since I mix my APF with some flour I made using the Grain Mill... of course I then explain to the family ok guys remember this will taste a lil different since I mixed the flours..lol

I hope everyone going to the show this weekend has a good time. Take lots of pictures to share with the rest of us who can't go. When everyone gets back, let's start talking about a POOPS get together for the spring or summer. I'm feeling left out.
