INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: before begining Tom say, "in order to fully duplicate the experience
of homemade Tom's cookies you must also add a special surprise ingredient,
which can be anything which seems like it might taste good. Options include
rootbeer, a dash of ginger, ground nuts (peanuts, pecans, or whatever), .25
cup whole grain cereal, a small handful of vanilla/butterscotch/mint chips,
a heap of cocoa powder, etc. Be creative!)
Directions: Melt Crisco/ butter in a large bowl. Add in everything but the
flour (but dont add the chocolate chips in while the Crisco/butter is hot
or they will melt.) Mix. Add flour. Mix some more. Mixing can be done with
a wooden spoon or the old fashioned way of using your hands and really
working the dough. (benefit of the second way is that you can lick your
hands afterwards but WASH them afterwards especially if you lick). Add
extra flour until a few chocolate chips dont quite stick to the dough--this
will achieve the right consistency. Drop little clumps on the baking sheet
( dont use a spoon or else you wont be able to lick the dough off your
fingers afterwards. dont roll them into balls or they wont have that
homemade awkwardness shape.) Bake 9-10 min at 375F. Dont over cook. Tom's
cookies should come out slightly undercooked for that delicious texture.

A Message from our Provider:

“If thankfulness does not move us to serve God, then we do not truly understand who our God is and what He has done in our behalf. Without gratitude for Christ’s sacrificial love, our duty will become nothing more than drudgery and our God nothing more than a dissatisfied boss. #Bryan Chapell”
