sakon76The first round of cookies (a double batch of oatmeal raisin) are completed and mostly packed--the last three sheets' worth are still cooling a bit.
Wonderful Husband is mixing up the batter for the triple batch of chocolate chip cookies. Due to the sheer volume of this project, he is using our largest mixing bowl (the one usually only used for my making salsa, a recipe that begins with "take the CostCo can of tomatoes and...") and the hand mixer instead of the stand mixer. Wonderful Husband has just called me downstairs and informed me that we have now killed the hand mixer's motor. As in, it is dead. At least this happened at the point when all that was left to be mixed in is the chocolate chips, which need to be done by hand anyway...?
I'm going to miss that little mixer. It's been a steadfast companion for a long time now.
Guess this means I use the stand mixer for the scones, which are next up after the chocolate chip cookies are done....
In the meantime, I pack.
EDIT: Wonderful Husband just came upstairs. Last night he'd measured out seven cups of chocolate chips from our last Ginormous Bag Of Chocolate Chips, and was going to add the last half-cup from the new bag while making up the cookie dough tonight. He opened the new bag, but then stopped and checked the ingredients list, just to be safe. The new bag is "manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts." Errr... I think not. So he did NOT add the last half-cup and now we need to find someone to dump a Ginormous Bag Of Chocolate Chips onto. And hope that we can find a replacement bag for next time which is nut-safe.
