The Cookie Man ~

I have a cookie story for you today

and my hubby is the main character~

{whatever you do, don't tell him that I said he is a character...lol}

A few days ago he wanted to make oatmeal cookies.

{I think this is the 2nd time in over 32 years that he has made cookies}

So he starts the process and doesn't ask me one thing.

Next thing I know I am looking out in the kitchen and

he has all the dry ingredients in the mixer first.

{I really didn't want to say anything, but I couldn't keep my mouth shut}

I said , "hon, you are supposed to start with the sugar , butter

eggs and liquid ingredients". To which he said, "oh, I didn't know".

From that point on I left him alone.

Unbeknownst to me he had picked out a huge recipe.

It took 5 cups of flour and 5 cups of oatmeal etc.

Get the picture?

I wandered out in the kitchen a while later

and noticed there were cookies in the oven,

but there was also a bowl of dry ingredients

on the counter and a bowl of mixed wet ingredients so I

had to ask him what was up.

It appears everything would not fit in the bowl so

he mixed up all the wet ingredients, took 1/2 of that

and added 1/2 the flour mixture! (as best he could eyeball it)

I said, "You can't do that"...lol

Cookies from one batch were wonderful...

the others were flat...literally.

We had cookies running out our ears!

We ended up with three large tupperware containers

full of cookies. And I must confess,

two different days he took his "flat" cookies into work

and they loved them.

{but I think guys will eat most anything...lol}

He now thinks he should open his own business.

What do you think?

Blessings~
