After cooling I made up a big sack of both snicker doodles and oatmeal cookies and placed them in a birthday gift bag adding tissue paper and a birthday card to finish the home made gift! |
A hot cup of coffee and a few snicker doodles hit the spot every time. |
Since I was making a batch of each I did a couple of time and trouble savers I'll call them helpful hints! Also altered the oatmeal cookies by reducing the chopped pecans to 1/2 cup and adding 1 cup of cinnamon chips. YUM!
My helpful hints are :
When making two different cookie doughs in one day make the plainest one first then you can reuse the bowl, beaters, and utensils again for the second batch without washing. Thus I made the snicker doodles first.
When using a scoop to dip up cookie batter as I did with the snicker doodles dip the scoop into a half cup of sugar between scoops. The batter will not stick to the scoop.
Use the left over "scooping" sugar in the second batch of cookies as part of the sugar needed in the batter. *I also used the leftover cinnamon and sugar mixture from rolling the dough balls in as part of the required sugar in the oatmeal cookies. A little extra cinnamon never hurt an oatmeal cookie!
So, love in a cookie is always a welcome gift says Grandma Diane!

Those cookies look delish. I have also baked today, little jam drops which are buttery heaven. I'm just waiting on one of my sisters and dad to call in for afternoon tea. I am planning on writing a blog this week and will put the pickled onion recipe up for you Diane. I'm still having many weepy days but I am slowly getting back to a (normal) kind of life again. Hope you had a wonderful birthday and Brian is feeling well again. My best wishes to you, Wendy
those dusts of cinnamon and sprinkles of sugar are expensive little commodities to waste... your tips are great!
