I've been meaning to jump in and participate with all those who have been baking their way through Dorie Greenspan's Baking book but time and many other forces had seemed to be preventing that. Well this is the week that I have triumphed against time (we shall see about those other forces...).
The recipe for Sept. 2 was Chunky Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Chocolate Chipsters. However I've just been calling them Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies...not much shorter, but it seems like a lot less verbiage.
I was reading that people had been having dry dough, stiff dough...breaking kitchen implements dough. Not here. It was great, very gooey but after several hours in the refrigerator it became perfectly manageable. However I think I misjudged the size this were supposed to be, since the recipe said 60 cookies and I was lucky to get 30. However this was a good, good mistake. It took much longer for the cookies to bake, but when they were done they were big, thick and chewy. And 30 cookies are more than enough to send out to the world and hopefully spread a little bit of happiness.

Well, the day is nearly over and there have been no deliveries of happiness in the place from which the "other forces" originate!
Glad to see that you're enjoying your recent freedom.
