As I made this recipe, I questioned the amount of baking powder it called for. I should have followed my instincts and reduced it at least by half. The cookies blew up to the size of 1/2 a baseball and then shrank as they cooled to resemble a large, orange prune! They tasted ok, but with the way they presented, I could not bring them to a luncheon as I planned.

I live in TX with my husband, Tim and mischevious cat, Penelope :) I work at a small bookstore for a non profit organzation -- not really what I want to do for the rest of my life, but I feel that I am where I should be at this moment in my life. I hope to go back to grad school to work on a Masters in Counseling this coming fall (2008). That is my true interest and passion, and I think I'd kick myself if I never did it!! I look forward to the next adventure in my life -- whatever that may be :)
My loves:
my hubby, penelope, being with friends, my huge family, growing in my relationship with Christ, coffee, card making, MUSIC, movies, cooking, organizing & cleaning (freak..I know), reading, long talks, psychology, learning, counseling, people, spending too much time on Recipezaar (!!!), finding new recipes to tweak for my gluten intolerance, nice restraunts, wine.....
