And you're ...Wow, those cookies look fantastic. And you're right. Sometimes the problem isn't with the baker and the ingredients used; the problem lies with the oven. As for your hurricane story, I'm glad you've got good friends who helped you through. Anyone living in hurricane-prone areas are more wary of the state of their roof, especially during hurricane season. People are more likely to get their roofs regularly maintained and repaired because the damages hurricanes do can be quite extreme. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.liveoakconstruction.com/commercial-roofing/" rel="nofollow">Live Oak Construction, Inc. </a> <br />Live Oak Constructionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084302105395686434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534382475502618381.post-55205922313170389492012-09-18T12:00:40.750-04:002012-09-18T12:00:40.750-04:00Oh no!

This same recipe that was flat and greasy with my old oven, turns out perfect with this new oven that is more insulated. You might have to mess around with the oven temperature. I suggest getting an oven safe thermometer and see if your oven is accurate and then seeing how the temp reacts with a batch in the oven. It is normal for oven temps to drop after putting food in, but it should come back up to temp fairly quickly. If you oven is not sufficiently insulated it might not get back up to temp in a timely manner. You can work around this by raising the oven temperature to make up for that drop in temp. Hope this helps! Let me know if it works for you!Life Tastes Goodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249196731161572736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534382475502618381.post-27859468946769490692012-09-18T10:42:31.410-04:002012-09-18T10:42:31.410-04:00Just made these this morning and they turned out s...Just made these this morning and they turned out super flat :( I even refrigerated the dough over night. Where did this go wrong? Flat cookies make me very sad.Could it be because of so much butter in the recipe? I usually use half shortening and half butter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534382475502618381.post-20176385310815806602012-09-17T10:28:04.285-04:002012-09-17T10:28:04.285-04:00Thanks!

I'm so sorry to hear about the leaks - I hope they get fixed soon because it sure has been raining a LOT!! If I ever have a leak in this house again - I think I might just run away. Rebuilding a house from top to bottom is definitely not something I will ever do again! Go get that cookie girl!!Life Tastes Goodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249196731161572736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534382475502618381.post-7604765035843067902012-09-13T11:54:36.596-04:002012-09-13T11:54:36.596-04:00Man Marion!!
