some pie pictures

OK...here are some pictures of the delicious pie...the pictures don't do it justice though...not at all

this is the homemade brown sugar....I love brown sugar...it's my favorite cooking ingredient

mixing in the brown sugar

Finn testing the beaters....quality control you know!!!



these were pre-baked....still delicious but probably not all that safe to gobble up



she was pretty happy to help....love the new Dora apron...

imagine a giant
ooooozy
gooooooey
chocolatey goodness
on a flaky
delicious
crust


it was yummy

Finn "helped" this time and thoroughly enjoyed the taste testing portion (as you can see)


so

there is this cookie contest that I want to win
the grand prize is a kitchen aid mixer

I could never afford one of those...I mean, I work in social services/education and Cori is in law enforcement...we are lucky we can afford the ingredients to make the cookies with

but

I am not a patient cookie chef
really
not at all

like once all that mixing is done, I don't want to futz around with all the dropping them on the sheet and then checking them every 5 mins

basically, I am a lazy cook

so I am thinking of making chocolate chip pie cookies *like teeny versions of the pie
and
filled brownie bites
(you know...caramel, peanut butter, maybe coconut-cream cheese goodness) and then drizzle some chocolate ganache (how do you spell that?) on top with a nut or something like that


do you think those would count as cookies?
