Thing 13

The below post is from "A Cookie in Each Hand". Testing to see how it comes when posting from Zoho Writer using IE7.

I typed the recipe below into Zoho and then published it to my blog. It worked fine, except that my spacing is odd and I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix it. Anyway, Google seemed a bit more straightforward, especially since I already had a Google ID. Both were pretty simple though. I can definitely see how useful it could be when working on a group project. I don't often do that, so I'm not sure I will be using this often at work. I think I'd find it more useful if I had a laptop and worked on things at home on the desktop and laptop. Maybe after February, I'll have a laptop and will use it allll the time!

Here is one of my favorite (and easy!) recipes to make at Christmas time. People at potlucks rave about it.

Toffee Cookie Bars
Keebler Club Crackers
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar, packed
6 oz semisweet mini chocolate chips
6 oz finely chopped walnuts

Line a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan with parchment paper and cover it with crackers. In a large saucepan, bring the butter and brown sugar to a boil. Let mixture boil for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Spread butter/sugar mixture over crackers.

Bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes -- the bars are done when the crackers look as though they're floating. Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips and nuts.

Chill until hard and break apart. Eat with abandon. Try to stay away from them.
