Cookie cake I made

It has been a busy week!  I hosted a Thirty-One party yesterday and also made some cupcakes and a birthday cookie cake for one of Steve's co-workers.  It was all a lot of fun, but I am beat now!

I have several ideas for what kind of post to work on next, but I would like to know what you guys want to see.  So, please take a minute to answer the poll question on the right and give me your feedback.  If you choose "other," please post a comment on this post with what you would like us to do next.  Next week I will work on the most voted for item.

Check back tomorrow to learn how I plan my dinner menus and grocery list each week.

Rub 'em all over your body chocolate chip cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies

I started really cooking when I was in junior high and my favorite thing to make was cookies.  I have always been a good cookie maker when I didn't follow the recipe and just dumped everything in the bowl at the same time and mixed it by hand.  I don't know why it worked, but it did.  Since then I have tried to make cookies the "grown up way" with my Kitchen Aid mixer, but never got good results.  I would follow a recipe precisely, but while they would taste good they were some sad looking cookies.  Usually very thin with chips sticking up.  When making the same recipes by hand I would get excellent results.
