“Matzah flavored,” he replied, since it is Passover.<\/p>\n
“What if it WASN’T Passover? Then what kind of cookie<\/span>?” I asked.<\/p>\n “That’s tough.\u00a0 I like all cookies!\u00a0 probably snickerdoodle with Reese’s pieces,” he replied.<\/p>\n So I made him some Reese’s pieces Snickerdoodles. On account of it being his birthday week, and all.<\/p>\n I used a recipe from FoodNetwork<\/a>, since I have never made snickerdoodles before, except ONCE <\/strong>in the 7th grade in my first week of Home Ec when I had first moved to MI. It was a traumatic experience, as I had only ever made chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin, and had never heard of snickerdoodles<\/strong>. What land has my parents brought me to, one where cows <\/strong>and tractors <\/strong>and snickerdoodles<\/strong> are plentiful?? I asked myself this question daily for a few weeks, and since my Home Ec teacher was dramatic and told me I shouldn’t chew gum and had a problem with me from Day 1 (I’m pretty sure my mom got a call or two), I vowed I would hate snickerdoodles forever.

OK and maybe a bunch of you, but I had no idea!!<\/p>\n DID YOU KNOW THAT CINNAMON IS TREE BARK?<\/strong> I would like to move to the land of Cinnamon-barked trees. It’s almost as good as Candy Land. Only the place in which Cinnamon-barked trees grow is in Sri Lanka<\/a>.<\/p>\n Apparently we need “tropical sunshine and abundant rain” and I don’t know if I can recreate it. I might try to, in the bathtub, if Jeff says it’s OK. More to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A few days ago, I asked my friend El about cookies. Via email.
