A Cookie Compliment

I don't know if you guys will remember a post I wrote AGES ago about my lack of cookie-making skills, but I have always felt like making good cookies has been a sore spot for me. It's only very recently that I feel like I've learned how to make cookies that are decent enough to share.

Our ward is having a Christmas party this weekend, and I thought that I would ask our Relief Society president if there was anything they still needed help with. So when she paused for a moment, then said, "We still need cookies, and I hear you have a great cookie recipe," I was thrilled. I mean, sure, it's not MY recipe. And Tyler came up with the best part of the cookies (half chocolate chips, half butterscotch chips). But still. It made me feel like I've accomplished something. I went from terrible, un-shareable cookies to delectable, respectable cookies. Maybe it's silly. But it still made me feel really good. People like my cookies. They've heard I have a good recipe. It's almost like I'm a legend. (Ok, maybe that's a little too far. But it is cool. And like I said, it really did make me feel good. Even though, again, I can't really take credit for how good these cookies are.)

Anyway. I posted the recipe for these cookies awhile ago. It's here, if you want to check it out. Tried and true. Relief Society approved.

Looks like I'll be making these babies again this week. (Note: Tyler actually made the cookies in the photo above.)

PS, if you love cookies, you should check out my friend's blog. Ashley is a cookie-making genius. Every now and then she posts about some of the incredible cookies she makes. I mean, talk about talent. (I hope it's okay that I'm linking over to your blog, Ashley. Whenever I think of cookies now, I think of you. And your amazing cookies. If it's not okay, I'll take this post-script down.)
