I agree about sandwich cookies - maybe it's because it's not something you see very often with homemade cookies.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-57954033678287526952007-05-16T07:09:00.000-04:002007-05-16T07:09:00.000-04:00There is something about sandwich cookies that is ...There is something about sandwich cookies that is just perfectly adorable.

I guess it's no worse than a couple of rolls with a couple pats of butter... gee, can't remember the last time I did that!<BR/><BR/>Hi Nic! Using a scale is not a perfect solution, but it helps. It's actually better for getting a sense of how big each cookie should be than it is for weighing each portion. I think the problem is that 1/2 gram of cookie dough is not insignificant, so the rounding that occurs can throw you off some.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-29843602950336476982007-05-15T22:29:00.000-04:002007-05-15T22:29:00.000-04:00I admire your cookie-weighing technique, Cathy.

Truth is, I just eyeball them and seem to have a knack for it - which isn't that useful when you're giving people advice!Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456007322213045872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-87839242243594757982007-05-15T10:03:00.000-04:002007-05-15T10:03:00.000-04:00I kind of stalled when I read the "over two sticks...I kind of stalled when I read the "over two sticks of butter."

I won't be making the cathedral, but as a true gingerbread fanatic, I'll probably be making our (to be planned and to be built) new home in gingerbread, so we can dream of actually moving into the real version!Heleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759935956981229344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-15624065741079671042007-05-14T22:51:00.000-04:002007-05-14T22:51:00.000-04:00Hi Heleen!

So, will you be making the "Notre Dame Gingerbread Cathedral" as well? ;)<BR/><BR/>Hi Zarah - I wasn't going to forget the tray this time! Gosh, we're already a few weeks past the one year mark - guess I'd better hurry and pack my bags!<BR/><BR/>Hi Brian! I guess there's a price for everything and sometimes for a good cookie it's a few grams of fat and a couple hundred calories :)Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-87396415018822220112007-05-14T15:13:00.000-04:002007-05-14T15:13:00.000-04:00Yikes, I just realized that my favorite oatmeal co...Yikes, I just realized that my favorite oatmeal cookie recipe has 2 sticks of butter in it, too--and it only makes EIGHTEEN cookies!Brian Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11211403432599818043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-16921233691104162382007-05-14T14:50:00.000-04:002007-05-14T14:50:00.000-04:00Yay, I was wondering if you'd remember the tray fo...Yay, I was wondering if you'd remember the tray for these - they look lovely, the cookies!<BR/><BR/>And sure, let's make it an annual tradition - you come here this year;-)Cerebrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16583325839191361818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-39167839367393202502007-05-14T14:19:00.000-04:002007-05-14T14:19:00.000-04:00Hi Cathy!

Just wanted to let you know I enjoy reading your blog tremendously and you've inspired me to go through a book I love as well (I've picked Rose's Christmas Cookies by Rose Levy Beranbaum).
