Remember me saying I was baking cookies? I started with Christmas trees. They looked great, but were hard as rocks. I have a new King Arthur Flour pan, and it's thick. I thought it might be that it was so thick, and heavy that it might not be heating up well, in the short time it takes to bake cookies. I played with temps. Nope. I ordered the cheap Wilton pans, since that's what I've used before. Nope. Still rock hard. I used up all the flour in the canister, and poured a new bag in it. Yesterday, I decided to give it one more try. They came out perfect.
Come to find out, Dd #1 had put the previous flour in the canister. She put All Purpose flour in it, instead of Self-Rising. Sheesh! 200 bad cookies, all because she put in the wrong flour. Had I known, I have the baking powder, and could have resolved the problem, but I DIDN'T know. That never dawned on me. I spent yesterday, and today baking cookies. Tomorrow morning, I'll make up the flow icing, and start getting them decorated. Decorating them is the time consuming part.

My younger daughter, at 28, hasn't yet managed the first part. Not that she has bad life habits but hasn't been to a dentist or had a physical in many years.
