i am going to a christmas gathering tomorrow at my work. its at noon. we're gonna have lunch and stuff. should i bring something? if so what? its also my last day and i'm just going just so i can get a possible bonus. i'm awful.

so any good simple cookie recipes that will seem impressive?

On a related note, I think I'm going to get my boyfriend to make chocolate chocolate chunk cookies with espresso chips so I can take them to work and watch everyone bouncing off the walls all day.

Sorry, I'm an unhelpful idiot.

Hey - you're american? Why don't you just buy some of that pre-baked cookie dough and bake it?

However - these are the best biscuits you'll ever taste.

(And by biscuits I mean Cookies, not scones).

HOKEY POKEY BISCUITS
(NEW ZEALAND CRUNCHY SUGAR COOKIES)

1/2 lb. butter
1 c. sugar
2 tsp. milk
2 tsp. golden syrup (Karo)
2 tsp. baking soda
2 1/4 c. flour
Cream together the butter and sugar. Heat syrup and milk. Add soda. This mixture will foam up, add it to the creamed butter and sugar. Blend in flour. form into balls the size of walnuts. Place on cookie sheet leaving 2 inches of space between each. Dip a fork in flour and press down each ball. Bake at 350 degrees for 7 to 8 minutes or until golden. makes 3 dozen.

i wanted to make puppy chow or whatever they call it. its chex covered in chocolate, peanut butter and powdered sugar but that seems a bit white trash. :)

Short bread cookies. Made em tonight.

1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted after measuring
1/2 cup cake flour, sifted after measuring
1 cup butter, softened (no substitutes)

Heave all that in together. Don't melt the butter. Knead it into a ball and make smaller balled pieces on a non-stick pan. Only people i know of who didn't have these ingredients were probably in the warsaw ghetto.

Enjoy :D
