I decided to stop making healthy chocolate chip cookies. I hate to admit it, but my ccc baking talent disappeared with the arrival of trans-fat fears. Switched to butter; flat and greasy cookies ensued regardless of the gazillions of different recipes I tried.
In a fit of madness and 80's nostalgia, I bought a wee bit of shortening (gasp!--at least it wasn't the bucket that was in our fridge growing up) and these gloriously puffy and tender little gems emerged from my oven. Bliss. Since I successfully use butter for all other baking, I've officially decided to keep riding the trans-fat sin wagon for future ccc. But do educate me if you have a puffy-with-butter recipe...

Beautiful flowers....It's nice to decorate.
I have the worst luck with cookies. Never can seem to make them right, no matter what ingredients I use.
Hey Alexa! Hope you got those julep cups ;) I love that quilt your mom is working on -- it is going to be beautiful!
