What do you get when...

you plant tomatoes in front of the dryer vent? Downy soft Salsa. Yum.

The masses from dinner just left. It was a tasty dinner. Todd grilled two batches of chicken. They gave new meaning to "light" and "dark" meat chicken. They were all bonless skinless chicken breasts if that gives you a clue. Good company too. Jimmy, Phil, Mark and Maria are all doing well. Liz,when are you coming to visit? He gave the thumbs up.

It's still cold, but the snow has melted off most of the mountains.
A good recipe...

Recipe SummaryDifficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Yield: 35 to 40 cookies

For the topping: 3 tablespoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
For the cookie dough:
3 1/2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon and set aside. To make the cookie dough, stir together the dry ingredients. In a bowl with a paddle attachment, cream the butter. Add the sugar and continue to mix, then add the eggs, corn syrup, and vanilla, and mix thoroughly. Add the dry ingredients and mix until blended. Chill dough 1 hour if it's sticky or difficult to handle. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Roll balls of dough about the size of a walnut then roll them in the cinnamon sugar to coat. Place on an un-greased sheet pan 2 1/2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until puffed up and the surface is slightly cracked. Let cool on the sheet pan a few minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool.





Have a good week. JT
