Today we had friends over to play Dungeons and Dragons. It was a blast! We even watched a movie called "The Gamers" about people who play D&D - and that was hilarious too.While everyone was here, we had a chocolate chip cookie tasting event. Jon created a Standard Cookie rating sheet that rated cookies based on visual impact, texture, flavor, and after impression. Ratings varied from 1 to 10 with 10 representing the most desirable in a given criteria. Interestingly enough, the cookies I generally make won!! I made 10 different cookie recipes (see picture) and everyone rated them.
Below are the results.

The changes I've made to Nestle toll house cookies are to only use real butter, add 1/4 cup flour extra, and cook them for 7 minutes and 20 seconds.
As you can see from this scientific study, Nestle toll house cookies are the best!! How awesome :). Of course, these are the cookies I always make so it made me happy to have confirmation that they are the best.
Sarah has started to smile and make cute noises! Here is a video of her smiling. What a doll baby!!
I got 62 on Quiddler today. I was doing so well until I lost the v :(. 11 points!!!

Hi, Gina, Sarah's smile is wonderful and contagious!!! Hopefully she will be smiling Sunday too. :)
We will do our best to be there by 4:00. Hopefully there won't be too much traffic.
I love you Easter tablecloth and your cookie contest. Its great old fashioned toll house cookies won. I will try your modified way,
love, Mom
Yay! That was a fun weekend. Can't wait to do it again. I have finally recovered from the very serious responsibility of Cookie Evaluation. I had heartburn for two days. :)

I see the "lite" cookies received the lowest score, so much for eating "lite".

I love Sarah smiling it was great!
Do you take orders for your cookies? ;-) Just kiddin! That was a really cool idea!! I wish I was that ambitious to make that many cookies!
Sarah is absolutely adorable! I love that stage when they start to smile and actually show some feelings (besides crying of course!).
Take Care!
