Thought of the Dayā¦There are four basic food groups: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, and chocolate truffles. ~Author Unknown
The Offspringās good friend Sarah, whom I affectionately call My Sarah, came over for a visit not too long ago. I had promised her that whenever she came over next we would make cookies. My Sarah said that she doesnāt do much baking, so I decided it was a good opportunity for the girls to make them on their own⦠I was nearby in case they ran into problems.
I remembered that a few weeks ago, Nicole over at Thatās Life wrote about making Yummy Chocolate Chip Cookies. My Sarah loves oatmeal cookies and canāt, like me, canāt have chocolate, so I modified the recipe (sorry, Nicole) and they made it with white chocolate chips instead.
I explained to the girls that it is important to make sure they have all the ingredients as well as the correct amounts. I suggested they get prep bowls out and pre-measure everything. They did and then started following the recipe.
I forgot one thing⦠The Offspring hadnāt used my KitchenAid mixer. I forgot to explain turning it on slowly with dry ingredients and also to put on the pouring shield. Both of which are āsecond natureā (sort of) for me, but to the novice⦠not so muchā¦
ā¦As you can see, the dry mixture got everywhere, including The Offspringās face.


My Sarah thought the powder looked like the Hawaiian Islands on The Offspringās face.
At this point, I suggested putting the pouring shield and as she turned aroundā¦
⦠I got a smile from My Sarah!
I had the girls use my round Pampered Chef stone (as you suspect from the dark ring, yes, I use this for pizza).
You tell by the smiles they were having a lot of funā¦
The cookies were soooo good!
ā¦Just look at these proud smilesā¦
OK, now Iām hungry for cookies⦠too bad theyāre all gone!
