| Cookies for LJ has hereby been bought cookies (look at the userinfo page).
Aaaaaannnnnnnd . . . Stacy, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) chasethestars, would very much like real cookies for making LJ cookies.
I can't bake very well.
But can someone here make this happen?
Given the stress that LJ staff are under thanks to Fangate 2007 and the Ddos attacks, it's time for something good for them. | comments: 7 comments or Leave a comment   |
| Okay. Me being in Australia I can't say homebaked cookies would be good.
However, I'd love to send some famous Australian TIM TAMS to the LJ crew. They are totally the most delicious thing you have ever tasted. And it's a bonus for coffee drinkers as you can bite opposite ends and suck the coffee through it and have it mix with the chocolate inside!
Would you lovely LJ peoples like to try Aussie Tim Tams?? XD | | comments: 6 comments or Leave a comment |

| Hey y'all! Sorry about the delay. I think that we should probably back off to once a month again until we have more people. Sound ok?
Here's the schedule:
Febuary: elvinchild
March: purpleheather
April: unconventional
May: limelight_lude
June: vaxoventric
Sound ok to everyone? If anyone wants to send a second batch a month, leave a comment on this post, and then send a batch to the Seattle office. There's only a few people there, but I'm sure they'd appreciate it. and then send another batch to the SF office.
Alrighty? :) Also: If people could please post the months they'd be able to post cookies, I'd be really appreciative. Thanks!

| Sorry I've been out of touch. I had a server crash in July and that took the wind out of my sails for the rest of the summer...
Who wants to ship cookies this month? Next month? Doing any holiday baking and want to share the results?
Who shipped cookies, if anyone, in August, September, or October? What kind of cookies did you send? (LJ monkeys, what kind did you receive?)
I was supposed to ship to the Seattle office in October. I'll be doing that this month since I missed my slot.
Is there anyone who can take on the job of reminding people? All you have to do is find the message where they volunteered and send them a follow-up reminder message...

| The late August shipment is on it's way...with a little something extra for Frank. Hope you enjoy.
As I didn't know if you had none egg eaters, I shipped some no-bake cookies in with the others. There are about 6 dozen in all.
I also added some stress relief materials (not that I think it's a stressful work environment) in the box. I'll let the recipients expound on that once they receive the package.
Take care, all!

| Since I'm part of the LJ staff, I had some inside knowledge when I volunteered for my early-August cookies-for-LJ duty: the whole team was going to be together in one place for the first time in LJ history. All of the out-of-towners converged on Six Apart HQ this week for a long-planned team powwow.
I cheated a little bit on the definition of cookies. For the occasion, my wife, reeniecooks, very kindly made us a big batch of her outstanding caramel corn. It went quickly with this crowd :P | | comments: Leave a comment |

| Hey guys, I'm in a bit of trouble here. I'm having some serious medical problems that have culminated in having to take medicine that makes me incredibly dizzy and drowsy. I am scheduled for the early July shipment. Is there anyone who can cover me for this, please? I know it's horribly last minute, but I've had a lot of other stuff on my hands the past week or so, the least of which is an impending MRI to see if I have a brain tumor. So, um... Help?

| Hey guys and gals.
Mid-June shipper here. Going to be doing either some plain chocolate chips or a triple-crown dough I've got tonight and mailing them first thing in the AM, however... Quick questions I'm hoping everyone will be able to fill me in on.
Did we ever get labels? Did the addresses change? Did I still need that print out that was from, oh, a year or so ago?
Just wondering because I'm trying to get back up to my house in another city after baking here and I need to get the box set for my mom (sunshine_lill) to ship off for me.
Anyone feel like taking me under their wing?
Edit: Are store-bought okay, in case something goes terribly wrong? Because I'd only buy the best... | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

| I'm going to bake my cookies in a little while, and all the recipes I want to use call for eggs. Instead of spending forever looking for alternative recipes, I looked for alternative sources to eggs. I found a couple (god bless Vegetarian/Vegan websites) and figured I could post them here.
Agar powder: Use with recipes that call for egg whites. For each egg white, dissolve 1 tbsp plain agar powder in 1 tbsp water. Whip, chill and whip again.
Applesauce: Like banana, applesauce is great for sweeter baked recipes, such as muffins, brownies, and cake. For each egg, substitute 1/3 cup applesauce.
Banana: Wonderful with desserts or sweet items like pancakes, and muffins. For each egg, substitute 1/2 small banana, mashed.
Flax seed: Great for pankcakes, breads, and other baking. Use 1 tbsp ground flax seed simmered in 2 – 3 tbsp water. Tip: Adding ground flax seeds to any recipe add Omega-3's to the recipe! You can buy ground flax seeds in the health section of most grocery stores.
Mashed potatoes / bread crumbs: For veggie loaves or burgers, used mashed potatoes, fine bread crumbs, cooked rice or oatmeal, or tomato paste to bind ingredients.
Pumpkin: For baked goods, you can replace each whole egg with 1/3 cup of cooked pumpkin. Great for muffins that have a hint of pumpkin flavor to them.
1 whole egg = 2 tbsp water + 1 tbsp oil + 2 tsp baking powder
1 egg = 2 tbsp water + 2 tsp baking powder
I'm going to use the banana substitute because banana sounds delicious in one of the recipes I'm using. | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |

| I left for a weekend in Seattle on Thursday, so didn't post up here, but I mailed my batch and a half (gotta save some for the friends and family!) of traditional back-of-the-tollhouse-package-from-memory Chocolate Chip cookies the short drive up to San Francisco on the 19th. Our friends at LiveJournal should have opened their fabulous package today.

| For some reason, the cookies have been returned to me. I have no clue what's going on, since the post office still has the box. But could someone please repost the address to send them to just in case I got it wrong?
Hopefully they will be back on their way on Tuesday at the latest. | | comments: Leave a comment |

| We got the delivery today from henry (who is a very wise man to have pre-allocated the cookies) The note in the box says that I should post here about what kind of cookies I like. Well, I like pretty much every kind of cookie, but I think that the many variations of chocolate chip are my favorite :)
*must stop eating cookies* | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |
| | Just a quick note: I'll be dropping a batch of chocolate chip cookies off at the Seattle office tomorrow. I split them evenly between 2 packages because from what I hear, matthew has quite the sweet tooth and might be inclined to eat more than his fair share ;) I included the standard note directing them to post their prefrences here since they're new to the whole "free cookies" thing. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

| Tonight I finished baking my cookies to ship out. I made a batch of Lemon Wafers, and Viennese Brandy Twists. There are about 3 dozen of each.
The Lemon Wafers are from Holly Garrison's book "Comfort Food" (1988, Dell Publishing), and you can find the recipe on my website.
