  4. Gosh, you guys are making me have to run extra blocks in the morning!

    I'm so hooked on this blog. My hubby says he's going to start a mennonite boys blog about building stuff. I say that's pretty sexist!! :)

  5. Kathy, do you truly use margarine or do you use butter? I wonder if that makes a difference in a chewy cookie. I have gone completely away from baking margarine for a few years, because of trans fat. Just curious what you use.

  6. HI Lori, I know what you are saying about Margarine. I do use it still in some of my cookies. I also have several other recipes where butter changes the taste so much that I stick to margarine. They will taste great with either, but I'm sure the texture will be slightly different using butter.....try it....let me know. Kathy
