With Christmas coming up this year, we got a mail-order catalog for food baskets. We, of course, thought: “What a great idea!” But rather than order baskets, we, of course decided to make them ourselves!
Even as I am writing this, we are in full cookie production mode. At the current rate, we’re producing approximately a dozen fresh cookies every 4 minutes. Kat made the dough, and rolled it into sugar-coated balls. My job is to manage the rotation of three cookie sheets: every four minutes, one comes out of the oven to cool, the bottom shelf sheet rotates 180 degrees and moves to the top shelf in the oven, and a fresh sheet of uncooked dough-balls goes in.
We made Molasses Spice Cookies, Snickerdoodle, and Delicious Pumpkin Bread. Also a few lucky folks got Chocolate-Dipped Jalapenos!
