@corkybookworm I don’t know about whether there was a typo, obviously, but typically cookie recipes have about 1/2 cup of butter (1 stick) for 1 cup of sugar. Sometimes more, esp. for sugar cookies. And cooking them depends totally on your oven (also altitude if you’re way above sea level). Cookies are honestly a “cook them until they’re done” kind of food. I like them soft, so I usually cook them until the edges hold their shape if you barely touch them. They should still be extremely soft unless you want crunchy cookies, and they should change from looking shiny (first couple of minutes of cooking) to having just a faint luster even in the middle. Don’t cook them until they’re brown, because they’ll continue to cook on the sheet when you take them out. I like to leave them to cool for 10-15 minutes on the cookie sheet, so they can set up better but not dry out in the harsh heat of the oven.

Also…Ireland. Yeah. I love it. I know a little Irish dancing, and I used to play Irish fiddle decently well. Never could get my fingers to cooperate on a reel, but hey. Jigs and waltzes are good too. XD Ooh! And I learned some very basic Irish Gaelic, some of which I actually still remember. 😛

@gracelivingston Hiiiii! Glad to have you back! We missed you. 🙂 I think we settled (ish) on Rillumites (or Rillumenites?), but I’m not sure how definite that is…especially since I can’t remember which one it was that we kind of ended up with. xD
