Now that's one book that I would use every day.<BR/><BR/>Sorry you are disappointed with your cooking efforts.

Never mind, I bet they still taste fantastic.

Thank you. I did sleep well.<BR/>Dianne, I usually put the whole cookie sheet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes on any cookie made with butter and that does prevent the spreading. I skipped that step since I was in such a hurry and the refrigerator didn't have any room for the cookie sheets. Why I did not just pop the bowl of dough in there between batches, I don't know. Oh well, they probably taste fine -- they are just a tad thin...I will call them "cookies for dieters" as all the calories seem to have spread right out.

Sometimes cookies taste better the next week. I just made Russian Tea cakes tonight and they always taste better with a drier texture a week later. I didn't have trouble with the chocolate chips spreading this year. I had bought a new cookie recipe magazine and they said to make sure your pans were completely cooled after using before you added the dough. I made sure they were and they didn't run for once! ; )<BR/>Off to bed before 12. That's darn early for me!Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00335147609261707774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-1135041879412520392005-12-19T20:24:00.000-05:002005-12-19T20:24:00.000-05:00When you're tired and have a headache, just about ...When you're tired and have a headache, just about anything can seem dismal, but remember: these are just cookies. It doesn't even sound like you burned them, so they will even still taste good. I am glad you have the strength and energy to bake them and could afford the ingredients as well. Things will look better in the morning, or whenever your fellow exchangers take a bite and say, "Oh, I'm so glad you made these!"<BR/><BR/>Hope you sleep well tonight, Zoey.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11106962533729909868noreply@blogger.com
