Re: Anyone Else Dislike Making Cookies?

Not me!  I love baking cookies.   I just put my favorite rock music and headset on and bake and dance.  There is really nothing I dislike baking.  I abhor housework and would rather spend my time baking!

Homemade cookies are rarely found in this house because I HATE making them.

Re: Anyone Else Dislike Making Cookies?

I really don't like making cookies either, unless they come in one of those nice packages that have little squares of dough to separate and bake! I'm okay making something simple like a small batch of coconut macaroons with not too many ingredients. Two dozen cookies is my limit!

Never had much luck wth cookies or pie dough.  My favorite is pies, so luckily I don't mind using pre-made pie dough.

Re: Anyone Else Dislike Making Cookies?

I gave up baking Christmas cookies many, many years ago.  Nowadays when I make cookies, the recipe is for a small batch, 12-16 cookies total.  A serving is just one cookie so most of the will end up in the freezer to be doled out here and there.

Re: Anyone Else Dislike Making Cookies?

I have a relative that has a cookie business.  She put a commerical kitchen in her house.  Her cookies are wonderful.

 

She does several kinds of drop cookies and frosted cut out cookies.

 

You name it and she will make it. I can't imagie how mant cookie cutters she has or where she finds them.  She can decorate like nobody's business.

 

Everything is beautiful, every seasonal type, pink and blue onies for baby showers. all sports, Harry Potter w/little round glasses.  The Minions were very cute. She just did some for hospital workers scrub tops with stethoscopes the necks .  More talent and patience than I have.

 

I had her make a tray of drop and cut outs of cats and dogs for our vet's office.

I used to love making cookies but can't no longer stand in the kitchen for hours so now I make bar cookies.  Many traditional cookie recipes can be adapted to bar form.

Definitely not a baker.  Either you are or you are not.

Re: Anyone Else Dislike Making Cookies?

I'm such a messy baker. My kitchen needs to be deep cleaned after baking cookies on Friday. Candy is more popular in our house so I wish I had made peanut butter balls and toffee treats instead of cookies. I'll eventually toss them out, not because they are bad, but because two people cannot eat dozens of cookies and I lack freezer space at the moment.

I agree.  Baking is an art.  I seem to overbake everything!
