COOKIE!
I want it!

I CAN'T EAT MY SCREEN! :(

Let me tell ya, they're really good! Nice and chewy. Yum! :)

Now if you could just find the face of Buddha there, you could sell it for a million dollars.

Wait. Don't tell me. You ate it, didn't you?

Of course. That's what cookies are for. -:)

Will you share the recipe?

Grandmother Hornor’s Brown Sugar Cookies

2c Dark Brown Sugar (one box)
1c Unsalted Butter (2 sticks, melted)
2 Eggs
2t Cinnamon (ground)
2c All-purpose Unbleached Flour
1t Baking Soda
½t Salt
½t Cloves (ground)
¼t Nutmeg
¼c Milk
2t Vanilla

Preheat oven to 375° and move racks to middle. Mix sugar, butter, and eggs until smooth. Sift together dry ingredients and add slowly to mix, followed by milk and vanilla. Batter will be a bit thin, like cake batter. Drop in ½teaspoons (or so, a cookie dropper works, just) on well-greased baking sheet (or use parchment paper), spaced about 2-3" apart (they spread a lot). Bake 8-12 minutes or so (varies with oven) turning once, and watching CAREFULLY. Cookies will puff, then collapse. When they don’t squish when touched with the lifter, they’re done. If the edges start to brown, remove immediately! They go from done to burned in less than a minute. Cool for a minute or so on sheet, then carefully transfer to wire rack. Lifter will build up a residue of sugar, scrape this off with a table knife to keep transfer smooth. The best ones are just a little chewy, but texture will vary depending on size, position, etc. Cooled cookies are quite fragile; pack carefully if shipping.

Cookie.

Sometimes my literal (as opposed to literary) impulses get the better of me.
