One more time, let's hear it for...Cookies!!

Experimenting with cookies are tremendous fun and fyi: if you brag about baking them, you will end up sending a boxful to your little cousins and/or nieces and nephews. Do cookies bring out the snack-giving grandma in people? Maybe...

In the middle of writing a book, planning the cake studio, and playing another show with my band I finally managed to squeeze in some actual baking. Cookies are just the perfect little snack. You make the dough, you chill the dough, you bake the dough. One, two, three.

While I do love to experiment with cookies, I enjoy talking to friends who love cookies just a little bit more. I ask them what they like in a cookie: crunch? chewability? GOOability? (whoa, new word! ha!)and, though a lot of their answers differ, one does not: everyone's a little bored with the chocolate chip cookie!

That said, this is not a slanderous blog about chocolate chip cookies, nor am I trying to deface its delicious legend. (smile) In fact, I'm probably going to make a batch of classic chocolate chip as soon as I'm finished. But I started playing around with the chip-less chocolate chip cookie that I had put on my menu. I've come to the conclusion that a) I'm not really sure if I should call them Chipless Wonders or simply Brown Sugar Cookies, and b) they're so yummy!

As much as I enjoyed them chipless, I ended up wanting to add things. Ha ha, I know I defeated the purpose. But seriously, imagine them topped with marshmallows and chocolate drizzle...super yum. Okay, no need to imagine. Here they are.



Just a quick little snapshot. I wish you could have smelled them as they were baking, tasted them when they were done. I'd consider putting them on the menu, or at least including them as part of the whole "Snack Girlz Fantasy". They're way too delicious to be filed away in my big pink recipe card box, that's for sure!

Now, as I drool a little and wish I could snack on some more, I have to call this blog completed. I'm working on the new marketing plan - I had to start over, since my last marketing plan was made for the purpose of opening a storefront. I think I'm just gonna start with the cake studio, and open a small storefront later. It's got legs, yeah? More soon!

Keep Snackin',
Sami
