Heart Attack in a Bag


That's what 263 cookies look like. Otherwise known as:

- 14 cups of flour
- 3.5 cups butter (7 sticks)
- 1 cup shortening
- 1/2 cup peanut oil
- 9.5 eggs
- 5.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 7.5 tsp vanilla
- 3.875 tsp salt
- Plus an assortment of baking powder and soda, chocolate chips, walnuts, dried cherries, cream of tartar, cinnamon, almond extract, cocoa, baking chocolate and red food coloring.

I'm going to bed now.

P.S. For the curious, I made Chewy Cherry Chocolate Cookies (half recipe), Chocolate Crinkles, Snickerdoodles, Candy Cane Cookies, Russian Tea Cakes and Nutmeg Bites.

P.P.S. I had to pause between making the dough and forming the cookies so I could prep dinner. I made Spicy Spaghetti Squash, which was pretty tasty. After we cleaned up from dinner, I formed the cookies, starting with the cherry chocolate ones. Of course, once I was done with them and before I washed my hands to move on to the Russian tea cakes, I licked my fingers - and proceeded to taste a weird jalapeño-chocolate combination! Even though I'd washed my hands, the oils from the jalapeño I cut up for dinner still stuck around! Hope they didn't make it into the cookies!
