I baked cookies yesterday and I gotta tell ya, it's a full day committment. Martha makes it look so easy, as do so many on the cooking channel. They act like you can just push out 12 dozen cookies in 30 minutes and that's not true.
Planning the cookies 10 minutes
Shopping for the ingredients 30 minutes
Whipping up the batter 15 minutes
Baking the cookies 6 hours and 15 minutes
Lets get real, the cookie tray only holds so many cookies so it's put them on, slide them in, bake, slide them out, let them cool, put them back on, slide them in, bake,take them out, over and over until your day is just sucked into this crazy chocolate, peanut butter, dough mania. Even if you use two cookie sheets as my older sister called and suggested you're still going through the same motions and it takes forever to get a substantial amount of cookies to build up.
Throw in a 3 year old, some Christmas wrapping on the side and few phone calls and you've got a full day!
I'm glad I only venture into this baking world once a year, it's just not for me!

This is why I prefer to eat the dough without cooking. I know, not for everyone, but it works for me.
