At the end of this recipe, a "cookie slam" is mentioned:

One commenter asked what that meant, and the reply surprised me.
So I had to look up a video of it:

I'm not sure how I'd like the texture of cookie slammed cookies compared to non-slammed cookies, but I like the sound of the term. Cookie slam! Let's have a cookie slam! A jammin' slammin' good time!

This is the recipe I'm using today - the cookies in this photo look much yummier to me than the above skillet one:

This recipe uses chickpea brine/water/aquafaba, which I haven't used for baking before. But I'm making twice the recipe, to make bar cookies. If a can of chickpeas doesn't contain 6 tbsp worth of brine in it, I'll use something else for the rest of the leavener. [updated: My regular-sized can had just shy of 2/3s cup!]

Oh, now I see the recipe uses baking powder and baking soda in addition to the chickpea aquafaba. Hmmm.

Sudden realization, after seeing a recipe for peanut butter cookies, which I haven't done in forever: If one can make chocolate chip bar cookies, there's no reason one can't make peanut butter bar cookies too!

The only alcohol that tastes good to me is almond extract. Have I tried amaretto? I don't remember; I wonder if it tastes better or worse to me. I should try some.

Yesterday did turn out to feel xmasy after all. I even discovered an alcohol that I can drink with an "mmm, this tastes good" reaction as opposed to "ew, vile, blech!"... Galliano liqueur. It's one of Forestfen's gifts though, so I shan't be drinking it up. My dad did send me some money as a gift; perhaps I'll use it to buy some other liqueurs just to see how they taste... Maybe I'll even be able to get myself drunk one of these days, and experience what that is like. heheheh.
