Cookies, not pork chops, LOLOL

Hey, Yawl!!

Merry Christmas!!

Earlier this month, I attempted to make some chocolate cookies. The last time I did any Christmas baking was in the early 1990's so it is pretty safe to say that I was rusty. So, I use some box cookie mix I bought at Wal-mart and start to follow the directions where were one stick of butter and one egg to add to the dry mix.

Needless to say, to me that just wasn't enough liquid so I added milk and got out my hand beater. Well, they evolved into a delicious and very pretty creamy concoction(sp??) and into the oven they went.

Ok, so I get them out of the oven and they had flattened while cooking and had run together. I got my spatula and tried to get them off the cookie sheet. I ended up with this:

Undaunted, I posted this pic on my Facebook page and one of my longtime girlfriends later told me she thought they were pork chops.

I can not tell you how much fun and mileage I have gotten out of that comment, OMG!! I think I laughed for about 2 days over that one by myself and with more of my girlfriends, LOL

So, today, being Christmas Eve and getting to go back to the same home I spent Christmas Eve last year, I do not want to arrive empty handed like I did last year. So I have 2 presents wrapped and here are the cookies I made just now:

Great looking cookies. So much nicer looking than the infamous pork chops!lol We baked cookies today. We are having our Christmas this coming Sat North of Dallas and all of husbands kids and grands will be there. Tomorrow we are having a Tex-Mex casserole and green salad for our dinner. We have a very dear male friend down the road from us who has no one so are asking him to spend the day with us. I sure hope you have a fantastic time with your friends tonight and tomorrow! Stay safe and be blessed. Lawana
