I've been resisting the urge to make baked goods too. I keep reminding myself how many I had during the holidays!

I'm bored too but I think in a little bit I'm going to stop lesson planning (my feabile attempt b/c I have no desire to do it!) and DH will stop doing freelance and we will play a game of Simpsons Monopoly before going to dinner with cousins!

Re: I'm so bored!! Someone talk me out of baking cookies

try these.

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 egg
1 1/4 cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

1. Mix sugars, peanut butter, shortening, butter and egg in large bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours or until firm.
2. Heat oven to 375ºF.
3. Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Place about 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten in crisscross pattern with fork dipped into sugar.
4. Bake 9 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheet. Cool on wire rack.

They are quick. U can make 'em.
