Cynthia’s Corner, School Bells Ringing: Feeding Frenzy http://chef2chef.net/features/cynthia/ ----------------------------------------- It does seem that the sound of school bells ushers in the cookie season. There are so many kinds of cookies one can make. In fact, I would guess you could make a different cookie each time you baked, and it would be a very long time before you repeated one. I love cookies. I don't know anyone who doesn't love cookies. There is something great about having the children or grandchildren run in after school or from playing in the yard, and be able to hand them warm cookies, straight from the oven and from one's heart. Did you ever notice how some people have their own way of eating a cookie? It seems to fit their personalities. Some people nibble around the edges, some chew around the raisins or nuts, while others attack and polish off the cookie in a couple of bites. I don't know that this means anything earth shaking, but it is interesting. For the rest of the story and some GREAT Cookie recipes click the link below. http://chef2chef.net/features/cynthia/ *______________ A word from our sponsor - start _______________* ***ChefRevival.com We are here to fulfill your on-line shopping needs!
