Cookies!

Snickerdoodles, from Cook's Illustrated's The Best Recipe., a photo by Leenechan on Flickr.

Still not chocolate, though. I used to bake snickerdoodles a lot when I was in college. On one occasion I ate six of them in one day! Today I just ate one and a half. I'm trying to keep it (myself, not the cookies) under 105.

This recipe is even better than the one I used back then. It uses a much greater proportion of butter to shortening than the typical recipe. The resulting cookies are a little flatter, but they have much better flavor!

I'm probably going to end up making a lot of these. Our cream of tartar expires in June. We just bought it two weeks ago!
