Cookies ...

It's the weekend.  And that means ... it's baking time!!!

At the moment, I have a batch of choco-scotch cookies in the oven.  And the bowl of batter sitting here next to me on the couch.  (Tee hee.)

I still have all the ingredients to make pumpkin muffins, which I haven't made in a while.  Hmm ... to make those this weekend, or to wait ... hmm ...  I think I'll wait.

At any rate, back to the cookies.  These are my favorite to make for a number of reasons.  Probably the most significant reason:  the process of making them -- the evolution of the aroma that fills the kitchen from when the first ingredient goes into the bowl to when the delicious goodies are cooling on the counter -- brings back memories of making them at home with my family.

P.S. I mastered how to crack an egg with one hand today.  Woo!
