C is for cookie!!

I made two batches of cookies this late afternoon (a little too close to dinner). First a new recipe for Ginger Oatmeal. (I love trying new recipes on other people!) I often skip details like the sugar rolling ritual at the end, but this time I did it. It gave the cookies a lovely two-tone finish, with the darker chewy inside cracking through the lighter sugared outside of the cookie. The second recipe was an old favorite, chewy chocolate chocolate chip. The bake time is crucial - too little and you might as well just eat the dough (which is not a bad option, really); too much time in the oven and all the fudgy-ness disappears. I have had both results before, but I think it came out well this time. I shall bring some to Bible study tomorrow and Sunday night. :)
