Happy July!!! I can’t believe it’s already July. We’ve officially finished half of 2012. July’s going to be a crazy month for me– Lots of birthdays, wedding celebrations, and all the stuff in between.
I’m exhausted because of flight delays into SF yesterday. My original flight of 8:35PM didn’t get in untl 1:46AM. The San Francisco Airport seriously has got to be one of the worst airports with delays in the states. I mean, a little bit of fog and they shut down a runway, which make 3 and a half hour delays. This isn’t just a once a month thing… this is like two-three times a week. SFO, get it together! Delays like that really throw flight attendants off. Just sayin’. End rant.
Oh, these cookies. They were extremely soft and chewy, but I didn’t care much for them. They’re very simple, but the taste was just a bit bland for me. If you’re going to put cinnamon and ginger into a cookie, why not make a molasses cookie? I guess these are just for the light hearted who don’t like molasses.

I’ve been trying to find the perfect cookie recipe. My favourite cookies come from subway, they’re soft, chewy and incredibly more-ish (though I’m not so sure that’s a good thing). I just haven’t been able to find a recipe to suit. These ones LOOK like the perfect cookie… maybe without the spices, extra vanilla & some choc chips? I’ll have to give it a go. If you know of a better recipe that you think might work – PLEASE enlighten me 🙂
