I just call ‘em like I see ‘em. I’m calling this a good idea.
I saw the most wonderful idea the other day. Kimara at Wee Folk Art put up a tutorial on making a Magic Cookie Bag.
Oh man. We love cookies. Especially D. Have I mentioned that his favorite thing to do when there are cookies in the house is to eat a dozen of them for dinner, wake up and eat half a dozen in the middle of the night, then have the remaining dozen or two for breakfast in the morning? I totally understand that impulse, and if I were as skinny as he is, I might be inclined to do the same. With that in mind, I don’t know if it’s a good idea or a bad idea for us to have a bag of ready-to-bake (or eat raw) cookie dough hanging around in our freezer, but I think it might be a good idea for the rest of you with more self control.
I would also like to suggest that you try her Oatmeal Scotchie recipe, as well. I forgot to ask whether my friend Jeannine used the same recipe to bake the superdelicious cookies she brought to our knitting meetup. Hers were chewy and delicious and had just the right amount of crunch to them, and I think you should make this recipe on the off chance that yours would turn out even 10% as tasty as the ones I had today. Seriously, it would be worth it even for 10% of that yumminess.
So, y’know, do it. And save some of the dough in your freezer. And bake them for me when I come over to visit. Seriously, cookies don’t have weight watchers points if your friends bake them for you, right?

It’s just not fair that D can eat like that and be that thin! I’m sorry, Chris, but eff him!
Those look pretty tasty! I usually keep a log of frozen cut-and-bake cookies in my freezer (plus a few containers of homemade ice cream), so you know where to come for your cookie fix now!
Aw, thanks! I used the Nestle recipe that’s on the package. That’s the one my Mom used to make, so I figured it was already tested as being delicious. And I totally agree on them being Points-free if they’re made for you…

I was going to ask you this morning, but you totally beat me to it! Once I got home and got my cold cleared up a bit more so I could really taste them, I was sort of in love. How did I make it through life without having tried them?!?!
@Kaitlyn: I don’t know why my blog routed you to my spam folder, but I can only assume it was trying to protect you from the barrage of visits you can now expect from me. <3
cookie consumption overload CCO is a genetic malady. Ada may have Ada may have your nose,but D has CCO (cookie consumption obcession)from a shallow gene pool! He remains lean even though he has this gene. It is selective breeding , totally evlotionary. The frozen stash is vital for genetic fitness and genetic legacy.
Perhaps that gene pool isn’t quite as shallow as you may think. Little Ada doesn’t have a chance, I’m afraid. If there are cookies in this house who ever brought them in better hide them unless they want to see me eat them all up. Gigi
