crispy.

sometimes,
you make a bunch of cookies.
other times,
you make a few cookie accents,
and have too much dough left after wards,
so you make a bunch of cookies.
other other times,
you freak it off, and on the fly start activating exxxtra add-ons,
and make cookie sandwiches.
no matter what, though, neighbors.
there are cookies that need eating,
and that's no joke.
i made some chocolate snaps.
the secret to righteous crawnch is to leave out the leaveners.
no baking soda, no baking powder, no cream of tartar, none of it.
just butters and sugars and cocoa and salt-
i added some organic chocolate syrup made with agave,
because my off-the-cuff cookie creation was too crumbly to roll out.
however,
once i remedied the dryness,
i made myself a few very crisp, snappy biscuits.....
and i had an even number of circles shapes left over,
so i used up all the frosting i had on hand,
and made something good a little bit better.
yeah!
check the teleport:

cute, right?
i thought so, too.
black and white filling?
c'mon.
blops on blops on blops, in a circle!
and that half-and-half sugar ka-pow sprankled on top??
i think that's pretty fresh.
you can have one, if you come visit.
otherwise,
you'll have to make your own.
seriously,
i just tossed a few bits and bobs in a bowl,
and grabbed around in there until i had something that looked like cookie dough.
once i got that far,
the rest was no problem.
i needed star shapes for a cake.
yep.
cookies on cakes is sort of my new favorite thing.
that's real.
so i made those first, and i made waaaay too many,
because that's the correct was to make things.
then,
i started cutting out discs, and that's when all of this happened.
the process is flexible, and therefore supremely fallible,
which is why i'm always so excited that it all turns out great.
i love making things up in the kitchen as much as i love telling the truth in my mouth.
true stories and dreamed-up treats.
there are worse ways to live your life;
never quiet, never soft.....
