Cynthia’s Corner: I’ve never met a Cookie that I didn’t like! http://chef2chef.net/features/cynthia/ ----------------------------------------- Every time I think about writing about cookies, for some reason, I hear the Cookie Monster on Sesame Street singing "C is for Cookies, that's good enough for me..." It must come from having had five children, all of who adored (in their proper time frame) that show. I remember well one sequence where the Cookie Monster went in to a library and asked for cookies and milk. The librarian told him they only had books. So, okay, Cookie then said he would have just cookies. This went on and on with much frustration on the librarian's part and laughter on all of ours. Well, cookies also mean holidays to me. And the holidays are upon us once again. For the rest of the story and some GREAT Cookie recipes, click here: http://chef2chef.net/features/cynthia/article/2001-12.htm *______________ A word from our sponsor - start _______________* This month, Chef Revival is releasing it’s newest pattern to the industry on Chef2Chef.net.
