Art Mawmaw in the Kitchen

Well, last week I volunteered to make cookies for our senior citizen rec. center. Things did not go too good. First of all, I made some glutin free shortbread from a mix. They looked nice... made a great photo , but tasted like slightly sweet, faint buttery, gritty chalk !! Next I stirred up a batch of pecan choc. chip ones. They looked and tasted divine ! That is, the first batch did, I managed to burn the bottoms of all the rest. All was not lost, I still had some brownie mix . And.....all but six of those stuck to the bottom of the pan Ah, all was not lost. I loaded up glutin free, non burned and unstuck goodies and headed for the center. No one was there !! Back home I went with my home baked cookies. My hubby and the grands ate the brownies and choc. Chip cookies. And after coating each shortbread with icing and colored sugar, the grands ate those too. People say they LOVE my cooking, but I seem to have lost my touch Maybe it's time I started following the directions on the packages. Happy Eating to you all. Love from the Art Mawmaw.
