Mother / Daughter Baking Night

Linda and I happily take on the challange___The kitchen in progress___Two bowls of cookie dough ready


Dee wrapping each cookie____Delores taking a break

This year Hopewell wanted to make chocolate cookies to send out to customers and friends, so Delores and I decided that we should have a mother/daughter baking night. I talked to Linda and we agreed that a double mother/daughter night would be twice the fun!!! We started at 5:30 at night and finished up just before midnight... our kitchen was set up into "stations" for the batches...butter and eggs first, then onto sugar and flour, next to mix in the chips and nuts, finally into the "big" bowl ready for the cookie sheets. We were able to bake over 3 dozen at a time, then onto the cooling racks before getting individually wrapped and boxed up. We estimated that we made about 55 dozen cookies and agreed that it was a good time right up until about 9:00 when it was determined that it felt like an assembly line and somewhat work!! We still agreed that next year we would do it again but maybe start just a little earlier in the day!!
