So I’ve started tweeting… those of you who are on my friends list on Facebook probably see how often I update my status (like, every hour?) and so hopefully I can move myself away from constant FB updates and move onto the world of miniblogging. I don’t have many people to follow, so if you’re there, please tell me so it doesn’t feel so lonely.
I am under the name Pip Robins, not typealice (though I have an account under that name too) because I’m starting a small crafty blog, hopefully. It’s there, just pretty empty right now.
…. I cannot stop eating the cookies I made yesterday.
Spice Crinkles
(my great grandmother’s recipe)
3/4c butter (though I only did 1/2c yesterday and they’re awesome)
1c brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/4c molasses
2 1/4c flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp cloves
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
Mix, cover, chill overnight or a couple of hours. Shape into balls, roll in sugar, press with fork. Bake 7-8 min at 350 (it’s very specific if you want a chewy cookie).
I usually just cook them until the outside edges are JUST starting to cook, because I like a really soft cookie.
I also often just roll them, squish them with my hand and then coat them in sugar, instead of doing the fork thing. I also like my cookies flat though.
I made a big batch yesterday and they’re literally nearly gone. SO good.
