this time though.....i really feel like i hate my job to a whole new level. its not even because of numbers and crap this time. i am considering trading stores, if at all possible. it just super sucks when you have no communication and have no idea whats going on. also, when things dont get done. ALSO, when you only have three employees, so if you get sick, you have noone to cover, because noone knows how to hire anyone.
isnt it great?
but lets talk a little about these cookies. happy times!
i have been dying for snickerdoodles lately, and i have no idea why. maybe just because i was talking about them at work one day. maybe all of the random stuff on pinterest. there were these snickerdoodle cupcakes one day, snickerdoodle bars another day.....yeah, it was probably the internet.
i got these, however, from my big book of cookies. they are pretty easy to make up, although there is some chill time involved. i did a half recipe, but made them really big, so i only got like 20 cookies out of it.
1/2c butter
3/4c sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 plus 2 tbsp flour
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tbsp granulated sugar plus 1 tbsp cinnamon to roll cookies in
combine butter, sugar and egg until fluffy. add remaining dry ingredients, minus the extra tablespoon of sugar and cinnamon, and mix well. refrigerate 1-2 hours.
once chilled, heat oven to 375F. use a small cookie scoop, or about one heaping tablespoon of dough and roll into balls. combine cinnamon and sugar, then roll cookies in mix before baking. space cookies about 2 inches apart, and bake 10-12 minutes.
i used whole wheat flour with mine, and it worked out pretty well. i added almost a quarter teaspoon of baking soda to make up for the weight of the whole wheat flour (since it is a little more dense than all purpose).
craving satisfied.
slightly crispy on the edges, soft in the middle. good end to the day.
not that it was a bad day to begin with. i was up really early. tried to relax a bit in the morning by zoning out on the internet. rons dad called because we are trying to figure out how to fix kristen's alternator. so, i was out early to try and find it, his dad came up to see if it was an easy fix, but cars are weird.
the frame and every other part (oil filter and pan, exhaust, etc), are all in the way, so it is very difficult to get to without a lift. we are hoping we can get someone to help.
after that, i went home, met with heather and ventured to the craft store for yarn and a frame. we picked kristen back up, since she was at home taking care of the sick boyfriend, and went to wegmans for lunch. spent a good two hours just talking about random things. mainly, that we would all like to register, hopefully by this weekend, for the inflatable 5k coming back to syracuse in september. we also talked about doing the color run, with their newly added event, the shine tour. on top of getting plastered with paint powder, you also get your face punched with glitter bombs.
getting covered with paint AND glitter? yep. sign me up. there should be one coming to buffalo, but i am hoping albany will be available as well, since that is a little closer. it is all about the waiting game, at this point. but....its something that will get me up and moving. not that i sit around much because i am always working, but i dont really exercise much.
anyway, i hope i can figure out something with work. it really sucks because i finally have paid vacation, and i want to quit again. maybe i can get out of the store and work at another one for a bit though, to see if that improves anything.
with that, i think im done for today. sorry for missing out again on wednesday. maybe i will have something this week for wednesday or thursday. i am going to try to sleep. thanks for reading!
