To fuck or to cook?

I second the recommendation for Cooks Illustrated, though I would recommend getting their cookbook called "Baking Illustrated."

I could not get inspired to make cookies in December because I made about 100 dozen for my church bake sale in November. I had help from some of the women in my Bible study and we used the church's commercial convection oven that can hold 4 huge pans at one time but still I got cookie burnout.

I made a new kind of cookie for my book club cookie exchange this week. They were very cute in concept (cherry bombs -- you use marachino cherries with the stem on) but the cookie part needs some tweaking. I should have guessed that a recipe I got from a mystery novel wouldn't be the best.

For some reason, the thought of our resident wingnut making something called cherry bombs amuses me. I guess I'm easily amused.
