Making Cookies for the Homecoming

Yes, well, this was a week ago, but at least I'm getting the post done at all!  John and Hank returned back from their Texas adventure, and to celebrate, we made chocolate chip cookies to take to the airport.  Here's some pictures from that...

And I had a total Gaga moment: the butter here comes in European quantities, which is not quite the same as American.  So I had to pull out the kitchen/postage scale. I had so much fun weighing the butter, that I ended up weighing the flour and sugars, too.  This totally took me back to Gaga and her postage scale, which I thought was so crazy at the time...but now as I get older...
