Yes, today I baked approximately 169 cookies.  That’s insane, isn’t it?

I had no reason other than we wanted cookies. :)  I stopped buying prepackaged kind because of the trans fats and ingredients that you really shouldn’t eat.  So, I purchased a bunch of new baking items (cause my cocoa was a good 7 years old–probably 10) earlier this month, but I hate making cookies.  The mixing, the dropping…  I have an apt. sized oven, so I can only bake one tray at a time, and I have only a hand mixer.

So when I want cookies, you can bet they’re only getting made once every month or two (if you’re lucky).  I also wanted a variety, lol.  I made oatmeal coconut, peanut butter chocolate chip and chocolate chip toffee.  I also made a chuck roast with potatoes, carrots and onions and Cheddar-Parmesan Bread, in the bread maker.  A huge cooking day.  Started at noon and finished eating dessert at 6:30.

My greatest question is how long do homemade cookies last before they go bad?  I have a feeling it will be longer than my kids allow these to stay in the house.
