Bountiful Biscuits

Hubby Tony was gone again today, attending a planning meeting for next month's prison retreat. Just like I did last time he was away, I made and froze a batch of cookies that he will take with him to the retreat.

Earlier in the week Christine posted a recipe for snickerdoodle cookies that she said was good, so I decided to try it.  The recipe was easy to put together, but it makes a lot of cookies.  (If you're not baking for a large group it might be a good idea to halve it.)  To cut down on washing of cookie sheets between batches I used every sheet that was in the cabinet--even the round pizza pans. By the time I was done the eight dozen cookies were cooling on every rack I owned, and I was even forced to pull out my shabby broiling rack to stack already-cooled ones.

Cookies ready to bag up.
At the end of the project, once again I bagged up the cookies in labeled quart sized Ziploc bags, a dozen to each bag. Now there are an additional eight dozen treats in my freezer ready to "go to prison" when it's time.

  1. Did you like them? L gave half away and we ate the other half quickly. I am thinking cinnamon is addictive, yours look good.

    1. They were VERY good! I'm glad I had a reason to freeze and get rid of the vast majority of them.

  2. Why not post some on your blog so we can taste them?

    God bless.

    1. Sadly, I don't think the taste simulator app is available yet :-)

  3. My first job was working in a bakery. We baked many dozens of cookies everyday. One word: parchment paper! The bakery used very few cookie sheets, drop or place cookies on paper (use all your dough) place paper on sheet, bake, remove sheet to cool, place another sheet (with cookies ready to go) on pans and bake. Repeat the process till all cookies are finished. I enjoy your blog, thank you.

    1. Ming, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! I have used parchment paper before, and agree it works well. If I made massive amounts of sweets on a regular basis I would certainly buy a roll.

    2. I guess I consider what you were doing massive, lol.

    3. Yes, the procedure was lengthy, but it was a one-time project :-)
