The Cookiethon II

This weekend we had a Youth Rally at our school. The event in and of itself was too blazingly awesome to describe here, but the process of baking the cookies prior to the event is more bloggable. We made three kinds: Cappuccino Crinkle, Snickerdoodles, and Chocolate Chip (That's right, no sugar cookies this time.)

RECIPE #1: Cappuccino Crinkle Cookies
Ah, how I love alliterations.  So, this recipe was fairly straightforward: We made the dough one day, baked it on another. It's always fun to make cookies, because they're simple to do and tasty to sample when the teacher isn't looking (You never saw this, Mrs. Gerber.) The only major mishap of the day was when I dropped the electric mixer while trying to clean it off, and it was still plugged in, and it landed on the switch. You can guess what happened. Sticky cookie dough went EVERYWHERE. I think there may still be a few chunks on the floor. They were very fun to make, and there was an unexpected bonus: The second batch didn't cook all the way through and were unfit to serve at the Youth Rally, though definitely not unfit for the students to eat. I think I ate about nine gooey, sugar-coated chocolate cookies. I may or may not make this recipe again, however if I do I will make sure to cook at least one batch for shorter than the recommended time.

RECIPE #2: Snickerdoodles
This one was fairly boring as cookie recipes go- It was simple, easy, and very delicious. No mishaps, except that we didn't have time to make it on the Monday so we made the dough on Tuesday and let it sit in the fridge for a day. Rolling them in cinnamon sugar was undeniably fun, although we should have made smaller cookies so there'd be more of them. I would like to make this recipe again someday- I only had one or two of them.

RECIPE #3: Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Also rather boring, comparable to the Snickerdoodles in difficulty and tastiness. Unlike the Snickerdoodles we did not have to put these in the refrigerator to sit for a few hours, so we formed them into blobs and put them in the oven immediately, alongside the now-refrigerated and cinnamon-covered Snickerdoodles. We had considerably more of these ones at the end, so I got to try more of them, something for which I am grateful. I will probably not make this exact recipe again, but seeing as there's a Gundark's earful of similar recipes out there it's no great loss.
