Calling All Cookies

Today's posting is a simple one.  I am in search of good cookie recipes.  I know, I know.  I'm dieting.  Don't worry.  I'm not jumping off the wagon so soon.  I am just looking to come up with some good recipes for cookies.  I figure the more I have to go over, the more likely I am to find one that is just perfect.  If you can, send me your favorite cookie recipes in the comments. 

The only other thing I really have on my mind today is commercials.  I am commercial intolerant.  I don't care what I'm watching.  I will find something else to watch on standby during the commercials.  I have no patience for them.  I am the same way with the radio.  As soon as a commercial comes on, I switch the station.  I find it hard to watch TV with someone else in control of the remote for this very reason.  I am squirming if they don't flip the channel during the commercials.  How old am I, right?  You would think my attention span would be a little more developed.  It's not.  I can't help but think about all the money companies spend to make these commercials, and I live to skip over them.  :)  Aah.  It's the little things that amuse me. 

Have a great day!!
