Rules - 2012 - Read First

 1. Make Cookies Small!! Everyone wants a taste of each, but not a meal of each.
If you get bored making so many cookies - ask someone for help

2. Use Parchment Paper under EVERYTHING (even pan cookies) Non-Stick sticks. If you don't want to scrub pans - use parchment

3. Don't get stressed out - try different jobs, washing dishes, watching the oven (it does tricks), moving cooled cookies to holding pans.
3a. We do need a designated Oven watcher. Cuts Waaaay down on burnt cookies... and next year, we'll put a cushion on your stool.

4. The cookies don't have to be PERFECT. It gives them a homemade look and they still taste great

5. Pay attention to 'Hot Pan!!'

6. Someone has to clean the house later, please do your best to keep flour (and the rest of the ingredients) in the mixing bowl.

7. If you see a camera sitting around - take pictures with it


8. Write two index cards with the recipe.
- one with the name, one with name, time, temp. Give these to the 'Oven Princess'

9. Dishes are washed to the 'Alice' Standard (our mom who was a Nurse). don't be offended if we send them back to be re-washed. Speaking of which, wash your hands. This is your first defense against germs (or a punch in the trach)

10. We want a copy of all recipes made to add to the blog. (This means YOU Debbie!)

Don't forget to 'DING!'
