HELLO....i do NOT believe that only taco and krazk are interested in this....all you tourists, what a FANTASTIC way to spend an afternoon with some very colorful local gringo/as!

a fun time is guaranteed to be had by all...well, not guaranteed but i sure am fun to hang out with...especially when rum is introduced

Oh I like to make cookies and I especially like to cook with other folks. Will be there, where ever there is?

don't know about that one, lara...i was never introduced to any rum

I will be making my dough and freezing ahead of time so that there will be no thought required when baking...just slice and bake...oh...and time......therefore, no thought required.....

As I mentioned before, TQ makes some of the best choc. chip cookies in the world. I think she should be flown down, all expenses paid and put her to work in the cookie factory for that day. Again, all expenses paid including rum.

ok...here's a sugar cookie recipe...

I need everyone to bring something, and if you know somoene who is coming that doesnt use the board, please have email them with whats left on the list...which i will update as i hear from people. this recipe will have to be done many times over, so we should get all the stuff for both the cookie and the icing... anyone who has cookie sheets or cooling racks...BRING EM! Also, we will need bags or something to put the cookies in for the kiddies...so saran wrap or paper bags or something...maybe those thin clear plastic ones you see at the stores?:)
For Cookie:
1 cup butter
1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
