all about cookies

Last weeks cookie: Slice and Bake Chocolate Chip
They were a big hit.  (I added 1 tsp of vanilla)
And proved to be a great dunker.  Important around here.

This weeks cookie:  I'll let them take their pick.
I am so bummed I forgot to order some samoas.  Maybe next week I will try the homemade version here.  And then perhaps the homemade do-si-dos, homemade tagalongs and homemade thin mints.  Yes, definitely the thin mints, because it is another slice and bake. I seem to be all about the slice and bake.

  1. wow! cookies run amok in your household!!

    speaking of slice and bake, i tried the dunkin platters. they were extremely hard to slice. should have i crushed the corn flakes a bit? or used my mixer?? i mixed that batter by hand (don't ask me why).

    and we've got a selection of girl scout cookies coming home with the husband from work. good thing i ordered the kinds i won't eat!

  2. I made the samoas the other day and found them really time consuming. They were delicious though.

    Your cookies look delicious!

  3. Oh my goodness - you Girl Scout cookie shop like I do.... But I am still waiting (not so patiently) by my door for mine to be delivered. I'll probably scare the poor child, bursting out my door, with drool on my face and a crazed look in my eye...

  5. I've yet to try a slice & bake recipe. The kids would LOVE cookies on demand. So would I, actually.

  9. YUM.

    I spent the first 20 years of my life refusing to eat Girl Scout cookies, because I was a Camp Fire Girl. We sold CANDY, not cookies. If I had a dollar for every time I heard "No, we already bought girl scout cookies"... well, I'd have several dollars. But then someone convinced me to try a samoa. Oh dear. So, so, so good.

  10. I could so use one (or 5) of those delicious cookies right about now!

    I love the dunking kind. Also very important in our house.

    I am going to have to try the samoas recipe. YUM.

  11. I forgot those wonderful cookies were coming! hurray! thank you for the links to home made versions - I have to think they will head and shoulders above the "real thing":) But for a good cause...

    Should Samoas really be considered cookies if we are to be honest with ourselves? So yummy! Now I'm hungry....

  16. I used to be the 'cookie mom' and am loving being a mere consumer of GS cookies right now rather than having them stacked everywhere in my living room!

    I can't wait for GS cookies.

    My mom works in a pretty industrial part of town. Next door is the local Girl Scout council and down the street is this HUGE warehouse. Every year the GS go and do their ordering and packaging there. I've always wondered home much time I'd have to do if I hijacked a truck full of Tagalogs! YUMMY!

  26. Funny, I started knitting to get AWAY from cookies...

    Girl Scout cookie season is such a bane on my waistline.

    I'm so glad I saw this post - it reminded me that I had 4 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies sitting in my backseat!

    I have RESCUED the Thin Mints!

  29. I stumbled on your site and love the Ruby sweater. The color is perfect. I am a novice knitter and just don't think I can tackle that one yet! I will keep checking in to see your progress.

    Cookies are a big hit in this house too with Samoas being a favorite. We only bought one box. I will keep it in mind to try to make some from scratch!

  35. I love the baking bites site! Will have to try the choc. chip cookies!

  36. Are these slice and bakes soft or chewy? I have yet to find a chewy choco chip slice and bake... I did not allow myself any GSCookies this year. I just can't do it. I could eat a box in a sitting, maybe not of thin mints, but definitely samoas.
