In the end, the perfect cupcake eluded me and I was forced to return to a trusty oatmeal-chocolate-chip-coconut-raisin don’t-hold-the-fat standby. I understand the raw version was pretty tasty on its own.
In fact, I haven’t had this much participation in the kitchen for some time.
The cookies are to sell for $2 each (robbery!) at a school movie-showing fundraiser. The general community loves these movie events because the parents drop off their kidlets for a child-friendly film, take solace in a quiet coffee and/or time with a newspaper, the kiddies enjoy the movie (today it’s a collections of Pixar shorts) and all is right with the world.
Dropping $2 on a sweet treat doesn’t bother anyone at all.
Thus I was compelled to look for a cookie that would stand up to a two-buck scrutiny. These blobs of batter are a substantial 1/4 cup each…
I was informed early in the game that the adults would be more interested in the cookies than the kids but — call me crazy — I detected a modicum of interest nonetheless.
These babies were hefty. Only nine per sheet.
A happy sampler. With evidence.
