Never. Not even close. I did it scientifically this time. The
recipe was from JoC and was to yield 36 cookies when formed by
hand into 1.5" balls. I followed the recipe amounts perfectly,
substituting 3 ts baking powder for 2 ts cream of tartar and even
adding 25% more flour than was called for. And the dough was still
too wet to ball up 1.5" rounds. So I used a 1.5" disher that was
slightly heaped with cookie dough/batter. Which means each was
LESS than a 1.5" round ball since dishers are half-rounds.

36 cookies... MY ASS! I got 23.

https://i.postimg.cc/2yM8HwTw/Mystery-Cookies.jpg

Name the cookie: I have 4 syllables in my name which can be in
one or two words. My first name is not "Yankee".

-----

Next morninfg, I take out two eggs for breakfast and then decided
I needed English Muffins, too. And the cookbook is still here on
the counter... A recipe from the same book for English Moofins was
to yield 20 moofins at 3" wide and 1/2" deep before rising. I
used a 3" cutter and they were rolled 5/8" thick. I got 24 rather
than 20 (and ate breakfast 6 hours later than I originally
planned).

Why don't recipes yield what they say they do - ESPECIALLY
cookies?!?!

English "MOOfins" since I was out of butter and cooked them in
rendered 48.75% genetic wagyu beef fat instead (not that butter
isn't beef fat too, but... MOOOOOO!)

https://i.postimg.cc/NMN0XYHZ/English-Moofins-Rising.jpg
https://i.postimg.cc/28L51s8X/English-Moofins.jpg

From the scraps I made garlic pepper knots and one little tittie
roll for the midget Sheldon (bottom left). Let them rise,
par-froze, basted with beef fat, and then fully frozen and bagged
for dinner rolls at a later date.

https://i.postimg.cc/RCDFVS9H/Garlic-Pepper-Knots-and-a-Tittie.jpg

The nipple of the boobie was rolled in sugar before attaching to
the breast ball. When baked, the nipple will darken more than the
rest of the roll. And the sugar that melts off the nipple will
darken slightly less, creating the areola on an otherwise white
breast. <sigh> The things I do for my arch-enemy Sheldon... who
now can't even remember the poster he always called a runt.

Now that he'll never know (or remember) I said anything, Sheldon
is 5'4" tall. Confirmed independently by 2 very unlikely
sources. One of whom formerly owned a liquor store in Greenviile
NY with a height strip on the front door and sold a lot of bulk
Crystal Palace Vodka to a very small subset of town residents who
drove old Land Cruisers and brought their own bags to unbox and
carry out 10+ liters of cheap vodka at a time.

Yes, I'm very resourceful, convincing, and conniving. And I doubt
Sheldon ever got his 1.75L bottle of Tito's that I pre-paid $40
for and with an implied wink. Finding a way to contact the [now
former] owner, and when, was much harder than making him talk. I
think he's a drunk, too.

And he hasn't gotten any taller, I'd wager another $40 on that to
break even.

Dinner was shrimp rolls (minus the lubster this time) and a pile
of roasted asparagus with Reggiano cheese topping.

You win a dozen cookies.

I needed cookies and flipping through the JoC, this was the first
one that I had all the ingredients to make. I never knew what
they were until now. The recipe is too wet.

Is the snicker a hint that they are snicker doodles?

I bought myself a Christmas present this year, a cookie dough scoop. I
have used it a couple times and it was great. I get the same size ball
of dough every time. I made oatmeal cookies a couple days ago and got 36
out of the batch.

I'm a little mystified why the yield of cookies matters. If you were
selling them, perhaps, but if a recipe yields slightly fewer but larger
cookies (or vice versa), I don't see a problem.

Boy, was I out in left-field! I tried to make a cookie name out of
"Steve Wertz", but that is two syllables. So I thought, "Steven Wertz"
as possibly three syllables. Then I thought, "Steven<space>Wertz" which
is kind of four syllables.
I couldn't come up with a cookie name to save my life! :-)

I knew you would pipe up about something here.

If a recipe writer doesn't know how many cookies a recipe makes,
how I can trust any other measurements in the recipe? Are are the
rest of the measurements flippant, too? It's literally the first
measurement in most recipes, and it's patently wrong.

Yes, *I* see a problem. And YOU see a problem too. And that's me.

There could be a number of reasons. If you are making them for a pot
luck or cookie exchange you would want a specific number. If you wad
wondering about the cost of ingredients you might want to know how many
you are getting for your money. If the recipe tells you to roll them
into a particular size ball you should get the number they tell you to
expect. If not, if some are too big or too small it is going to affect
the cooking time.

Well, it started with "My first name is not Yankee". And then we
had pretty fart smeller who figured it out from that without
giving up the actual answer.

No, they're not snicker doodles.

Impressive.

They're called dishers and come in all sorts of sizes and used for
all sorts of things. There's a uniform set of numbered sizes whcih
correspond to ounces, but I can never find where those stamps are
located so I just pick one that looks right. Except last night
where I did measure it.

Dishers as far as the eye can see...

I usually get more than the recipe states, when I make cookies. Perhaps

I left everything of relevance, simply snipping out garbage, usually
vulgar, that I didn't care to quote in *my* post. It takes literal
seconds to check back to prior read posts and find your original post
for clarification. You're acting like I'm forging posts under your
name, or something. Still, I didn't alter anything to change the
*context* of what you posted.

editing quotes in a reply to me to change the meaning of what i said

yes, i have. there's no denying they put women with short skirts showing
lots of leg on their talk shows to appease their audience. an audience
which consists largely of closet perverts and pedophiles as well as people
with strong family values like incest. you know, typical right wing

You just sound very biased about conservatives and Fox News.

Name one or a few of Fox News shows that show women in short skirts. I'm
seriously curious to what you see. I've never seen one (but I don't
watch it all that often).

“We are quite sensitive to certain issues, one of course being death,” anchor Samantha Page told
Reuters Television Wednesday. “We try to be as respectful as we can, and what we tend to do is
we leave our clothes on.”

Just in case people get the wrong idea, Page pointed out that she has a degree in psychology and
zoology and a black belt in karate.

The phenomenon of nude news reading first started in Russia and spread to Canada where Naked
News started in 1999. The Toronto-based firm is now hoping to emulate its North American success
this side of the Atlantic.

There are sanctimonious idiots everywhere who will always manage to find
something offensive. The person who redacted the perceived profanities
should have simply closed the book and returned it, unread. Books are
expensive to replace!

Recently there was an attempt to ban certain books in the local public
school system. ('Farenheit 451', anyone?) I read about it in a local
freebie newspaper. We're talking about high school age kids. Cooler
heads prevailed; it was decided the books would not be part of school
*assignments* but the students could certainly choose to read them if
they want to. The article also mentioned many of the people who were on
the "committee" to review the proposed banned books hadn't bothered to
read them. Heh.

Hey, they don't have to purchase these books to stock the school
library, ya' know. One would think they would be glad to know kids are
still interested in *reading*.

One title on the proposed banned list caught my eye: 'Go Ask Alice'.
There was an attempt to ban that book when I was in high school, too.
It was felt if students read the book they'd all suddenly decide to
start taking drugs. ('Valley of the Dolls', anyone?) Naturally the
first thing many of us did was go to a bookstore and buy a copy. It was
a rather boring book.

There is a special sort of irony to banning Farenheit 451 since so much
of the book is about banning books. I don't remember much about it but
it was one of our high school texts 60+ years ago.

Mein Kampf was banned for a long time. I had read it many years ago
when it was still felt that it was important to see what sort of crap
Hitler and the Nazis were getting so worked up about. It was only
recently available in our local library and I borrowed it to read it
again. I didn't make it too far because it was just a lot of repetitious BS.

It's a book about all the things that a lot of teens go through. LOL
thinking back to the 1960s when X rated movies were first being shown at
cinemas and how so many people raced out to see them. Most of them
turned out to be really bad movies than no one would bother to see had
it not been for the X rating. Curiously, most of those movies are now
shown on prime time TV and they are relatively tame compared to the
contemporary programming.

Thank you, my thoughts exactly. If I ever come across as trying to

Of course, sometimes I just snip because I don't want to quote an entire

The funny thing is, when they try to "ban" books, that just makes kids
more interested as to what is inside of them... most probably wouldn't
have even to attempted to read said book until it was "banned".

That was rather my point. They tried to ban at least one of the same
books on the list when I was in high school. It's stupid. The book was
boring and certainly didn't cause anyone to suddenly become drug
addicts. At some point you have to let kids learn to think and make
choices for themselves. Free-thinking people don't let a book force
them to do anything.

The first, and best, X-rated movie, shown in theaters here, was "Midnight
Cowboy". Now, it's on TCM.
I watched real X-rated stuff in a small room with a bunch of frat-boys,
once. I felt extremely awkward and uncomfortable.

Its the title *I* chose for my topic and the accompanying text.
It's not up to you to change my decisions.

People here change the title, but initially leave the old title in
tact, when the thread is no longer about the original topic.

Nobody here except for asshole trolls change the subject, replay
directly under the OP, and edit their sentences inline. That has
ALWAYS been a Usenet etiquette crime since day #1. No reasonable
person here is going to support you on this as this has always
been a Usenet etiquette rule.

> It's cute how you piggy-backed a bunch of my posts after my first quoted

WTF are you talking about now? Piggyback? I did a lot of catching
up last night before I deleted 1200 posts unread. I responded to
many people in threads in which *I* started or participated in
(Mr. "I have a can opener copyrighted 1911" - heh). Don't think
I'm not going to challenge that when everybody else missed it. I
didn't even call you any names in that post, you sphincterless
asshole!

Plus when you edit titles, it often starts a new thread for most
people, which just clogs up the interfaces if it's still the same
topic.

Now stop your whining, STFU, and get a fucking clue upside the
head - you prissy little piece of shit!

Yeah. With good reason. She would quote 100 plus lines from 3-4 previous

I swear that I've seen you whine, on multiple occasions, about people
who continue to reply OT in John threads, yet leave John's title in

you saw a topic drift that interested you in a thread which you KF'd.

I do loathe people who are incredibly stupid, won't change how they post
even though several have complained. Net nannies also are in for loathing
as well as people ask the same question every time a subject has been
explained to her dozens of times.

Whoever that is.

You're blaming someone for doing something minor, while you're doing
something major yourself.

You and Sister Jill ignore dozens if not hundreds of requests to stop
turning rec.food.cooking into rec.john.kuthe. Find yourself a real guy
in downtown Nashville, for crying out loud.

I looked it up because I hadn't heard it in a long time. Youtube is
pretty good about picking similar music to play next, and I let it run
for a while in the background.
