COOKIES

I made around 20 dozen cookies the other night for my West side residents. It took me about 4 hours just to make them (and two hours to hand them out), but I enjoyed talking to a friend on Skype and watching a movie while baking. The cookies had chocolate chips, pretzels and oatmeal. However, we don't have chocolate chips here, so I chopped up chocolate bars. And the pretzels were not very salty (they had poppyseeds on the outside instead of salt), so I put a little sprinkle of salt on each cookie. But even with the alterations, the students were very happy to receive them while studying for finals.
