Cookie Monster

 After the success of our first stint at the kitchen, last week we made cookies. We made, choco chip cookies, double choco chip cookies, chocolate crinkles, Chirstmas cookies, oatmeal and raisin cookies and tulip cookies. But before I tell you guys about the baking and making part we first had to finish our lecture in the morning. In the middle of the lecture our instructor asked who consumes more cookies than anybody? Me and my big mouth blurted out "Cookie Monster" hence the laughter inside the class. But the correct answer was the Americans. We were told that USA consumes more cookies than any other country in the world.

After the lecture we had our lunch break followed by our hands on. My group was assigned to make chocolate crinkles and tulip cookies. (For those who do not know what a tulip cookie is, this cookie is similar to the a delicate wafer cone or a krumkake) I was surprised that we finished faster in making cookies than our previous stint making muffins and banana loaf. We even have enough time to help other teams in making Christmas cookies and gingerbreads. Tomorrow we are scheduled to make bars and when they say "bars" in the baker's linggo this means brownies, blondies, food for the gods and fruit cakes to name a few. And as always I will keep you guys...(if there are people reading this) posted...  =o)
