Feeling Domestic

I found myself making more cookie dough tonight. Being tired of the plain spritz cookie recipe, I decided to play with it a little. After breaking two cookie presses last year (and one the year before), I had decided to put less flour in this time. I also decided to melt some baking chocolate that I had left over from the divinity and added it to the dough. I also added peppermint extract to the dough and some crushed candy canes. So freaking tasty. I'm very pleased with myself. Every year, I get a theme in my head and I guess that this year it's chocolate peppermint. Anyway, Mike will have plenty of cookies to take with him to the cookie swap on Tuesday and we'll have plenty to eat here. Now I just have to make my cream cheese thing for Mike to take on Wednesday. Phew...

Hmmmmm. The list taped to the back door this morning includes:
chocolate chips
peppermint flavoring
candy canes
sugar
Ya think that someone's going creative on me?

If Mom's making that chocolate mint divinity, you'll need a bar of unsweetened baking chocolate not chocolate chips!

I got semi sweet chips. I guess that I'll be back to the store this evening. Oh well, the chips can go for cookies. Or I'll just suck up the dough.

I guess semi sweet chips would work...just harder to measure and it'll be sweeter.
