Judgement Day, Last Call For Snickerdoodles


Yesterday was JUDGEMENT DAY, or judgement day.. I'm not sure if you capitalize that? I'm not poking fun, just thinking about how if it is truly the beginning of the end, why am I working instead of... say, *shoe shopping?

Other people had to work yesterday too because Judgement Day was also moving day. A business client was moving into a their new building so they needed a hearty sustenance.



I prepared a carb loaded lunch for the job;

Lunch For An Apocalypse
chicken salad sandwiches with cranberries and almonds 
potato leek and cheddar soup
pasta fagioli salad with dried tomatoes
and snickerdoodles



If this was possibly their last meal..it darn better be a good one!

My rule for catering for people you don't know, it's good to follow this plan;

1. One item containing meat and it should be chicken,
2. One item meat free, but dairy is okay.
3. One item meat free, dairy free, (okay, I did add some parm on the pasta salad, but just on top).

Not a rule, but if you could only serve one dessert thing, go with Snickerdoodles.

If it's JUDGEMENT DAY, do you need rules? 

Kym Clark Hampton decided to put the diet on hold, her exact words, "I put two quiche in the oven" that's the spirit Kym!

Richard played a joke on me...(YES! Richard!) He faked a rapture vanishing by laying out cloths on the floor.

More Judgement Day humor, Debbie Dubs and friends spent the day contemplating Zombies...

My favorite comment was SlapFish Chef Andrew, who described timing,  "‎6 pm in each time zone. They say it is a rolling rapture, so if you don't hear anything by roughly 6 am tomorrow... "



* This was Florentina Lile's idea, she mentioned it on Facebook and I said,"hey why not shoe shopping?" Not that I need shoes... but it is Judgement day...

Add dry ingredients to beaten mixture, beating till well combined.
Make Cinnamon and Sugar mixture (9 tablespoons sugar, 3 teaspoons cinnamon) to sprinkle on cookies.
#40 scoop for mini cookies, 5x6 on sheet pan bake 5 minutes.

Flatten slightly and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture, or until lightly golden brown.
I think this makes 198 cookies, I am a caterer.
