Today is National Cookie Exchange Day. As it happened, I actually baked some cookies today, Snickerdoodles - one of my favorites. I won't be exchanging these with any one though. I will take some to my son and daughter for Christmas. The grandchildren like them and are not too picky. They are teenagers after all. Which is good because these are some of the ugliest cookies I've ever baked. I do know how to bake and I followed the recipe, which I have used many times before, but something went wrong. I evidently need a quality control person to supervise. When my grandchildren were young (and able to visit) they would help with these cookies by rolling the dough into nice little balls and then rolling them in a sugar/cinnamon mixture. They always baked up just right. Not today though. They came out flat not puffy, with wildly differing amounts of cinnamon sugar on them. Some were round while others were basically blob shaped. On the plus side I bagged up the best, make that most normal, looking ones for the two families (18 each) and I was left with a fair amount of misfit cookies. Did I mention they taste really good?
