i don't think my toll house cookies have ever come out so well before.  i guess it's... i think it's that i added the baking soda dry to the dry mixture before mixing it with the eggs-butter-sugar, instead of fizzing it up in hot water and pouring it in wet like the fannie farmer baking book says.  huh.  who knew laziness was the key?  but i've made a double batch.  the plan was, one with chocolate chunks and one with m&m's smarties, but smarties (they don't have m&m's at all) are quite unpopular in finland and we didn't find any, and as i told wax, trekking all over for sweatpants is bad enough; i refuse to trek all over for a specific type of candy. 

slash party in an hour and i'm going to be a tad late because i've still got two batches that have to come out of the oven.  see y'all soon though.

what?! no m&m's an barely any smarties? what kind of barbaric country is finland? let me assure you that not all of europe is like that... here we have plenty of both.

We have Fazer's. Their product line more than makes up for the lack of M&M's.

Let me agree with you here. Fazer's various chocolaty things sure make up for lack of international brands. *happy sigh* In fact, I think you could make nice cookies by replacing m&m's with 'ranskalainen pastilli', which is like m&m's just with thinner crust and less of the E-shite.

Ranskalainen pastilli is minty, though. Amerikkalainen pastilli is closer, but it's a little too big.

size DOESN'T matter, baby.

not in this instance.
