Sigh, if I must search and then print and then make my own cookies. SIGH
Some concern for the brain damaged would be nice.
FYI-I am only teasing V and all others. I need a sarcastic smilie.

Here you go. I'm not totally insensitive. And since you're a faithful reader.

Awwww Shucks. Thanks V.

Awwww Shucks. Thanks V.

Now just don't be a toadie, sucking up to the princess.

Seriously, these are the best cookies I've ever had. I think the real trick is mixing in the dry stuff by hand. It keeps the flour from losing its gluten or getting gluten. I don't know what exactly... the actual recipe talks about why it's important to do it that way. And a quality chip really matters. If you wouldn't snack on it... don't cook with it.

I eat the Guittard milk chocolate ones by the handful sometimes.

Are there chocolate chips not worth snacking on? I haven't found one yet!!

I'm baking these this weekend...they sound yummy!

I'm picky! That's why SK nicknamed me Princess.

Don't forget the high maintenance part. Thom's halo is always very shiny.

OK, V does spoil him also.

Copied and printed for future use. Thanks V.

Now to find the time to make them. This weekend I am hunting so may have to wait until Monday when everyone is out from under my feet. LOL

Gosh...I might have more confidence than brains....(don't even begin to talk to my friends...) but I don't give a flying fig whether or not someone waves at me on the trail. I NEVER fail to smile at the oncoming bicyclist....but don't think twice about it if I don't get a response. I DO get alot of smiles back, by the way.

We traveled for years in a big motor home. I belonged to an online newsgroup that dealt with this very issue. Some motor homers got all bent out of shape if another motor home driver didn't wave. Good Lord. Has anyone ever driven a wide body 38 foot diesel pusher down the road? I had all I could do to keep that baby between the white lines when I drove which was seldom. Taking one hand off the wheel wasn't even an option.

It's the same principle.....

My 2 cents....

Best to all...
Bike on!!!

V - Thanks for the cookie recipe. Sound pretty easy to whip up, so I think I'll make some tomorrow afternoon to surprise my DH. I might put those Trader Joe mini peanut butter cups in them instead of chocolate chips though. ;-)

[Veronica]

Oh thanks for the idea. I want to make some cookies for Mark, the guy at Riv. who made my bike so pretty. He likes chocolate and peanut butter together.

I was going to use my peanut butter cookie recipe and add chocolate chips to it. But I like your idea better.

Wow this thread has really gone off into another place. Cookies? How did that happen.lol!

[Velobambina]

I've actually eaten frozen cake. haha.

By the way, V's chocolate chip cookies are excellent. I used the mini peanut butter cups and they turned out delicious.

Frozen cake is delicious with HOT chocolate custard.
