Day 3: Cookie Dough Day

It's sweltering outside. And crazy as this may sound, I made cookie dough all day. Mostly all day, after I dropped Todd at work and bought supplies. Well, I also got my passport photo taken too, and I'll mail that off in the next day or so.
Today I made 5 different kinds of cookie dough, and I baked off samples of each for tasting (and sharing with Lucy Bland). Of course there was the basic Toll House cookie dough, and also my very tasty oatmeal cookie (with golden raisins). I also made the White Dog Cafe's Kitchen Sink cookie, which amounts to a coconut/pecan/butterscotch/oat cookie with loads of butter. The two experimental cookies were a lemon ginger cookie (with a lot of ground almonds instead of flour) and a black walnut cookie (to use up the black walnuts before they go rancid). Both were really tasty - although I would put more sugar (or use the dark brown sugar as called for) in the black walnut cookie.
