Cooookies.

Chrissy came home last night VERY excited that she found a cookie mix that didn't contain any trans fat. Ghiradelli makes a cookie mix as well as a hot coco mix that does not contain any "trannies" (Chrissy's pet name for those gross trans fats.) The secret is that instead of just having to add water, oil and eggs, you have to just have to add an egg and butter. Since the mix doesn't have any fake butters already in it, the mix doesn't contain trans fat.

Chrissy was so excited about making her cookies that she started experimenting. Her first experiment was to put cinnamon into the cookies like The Meeting Street Cafe. The result was delicious.

The dough was really soft due to all the butter. She tried to make cookies in her mini muffin tin, but the results were disastrous!


Chrissy was really sad that her chocolate-chip cookie muffins didn't turn out so hot.
I was thrilled that the broken cookies meant more cookies for me! (hence the double chin)

I don't get why they have holes in them....I also believe Chris has a mini muffin problem

You can never get enough cookies :D

The middle of the muffins sank in instead of rose, and then when Chris tried to take them out of the pan the tops broke off, leaving the hole.

I do not have a mini muffin problem!! They are just more fun to eat and just the right size of deliciousness. Hey I just came up with a great idea---mini meatloaf muffins! Now that's a delicious idea!

Okay ladies, lets not fight about muffins!

that's a new look for the Feeneys. I think that should be on the XMas card this year! (ps--I love your blog!)

Butter contains trans-fat. Soon, butter will be illegal in NYC restaurants.

butter doesn't contain transfat, Margarine does. Butter won't be illegal in NYC, just transfats in things that they fry.
