Cookie time!

I thought I was going to sew today but that's not what happened. Instead I baked Monster Cookies! I think they're also called Dishpan Cookies. The idea is that the recipe is huge and thus the name.

Half the recipe makes about 9 dozen cookies for me. I've never made a full recipe because 1. My KitchenAid Mixer is not large enough and 2. If I did, how long would it take to bake them, probably all day?!?

So maybe you're wondering what I'm going to do with 9 dozen cookies? I'm freezing 3 dozen for later, giving away 2 dozen, 1 dozen has already been eaten and I think that should leave about 3 dozen for my family to snack on through the weekend. It won't be long and they'll be gone!

2 cups sugar

2 1/2 cups brown sugar
