Debi I'm still intrigued by your chocolate chip cookie recipe (that uses all 3 sugars, lol) - is it posted anywhere and if not would you consider posting it? The perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe still eludes me - I've tried dozens and still haven't found one that's just what I want...but in the meantime I have lots of happy guinea pigs!
nope. sorry. this one goes to my grave. spent 6 months trying, experimenting, altering recipes until I found one that worked well enough to put my name on. Even my daughters don't have this recipe .... whoever treats me the nicest when I'm in Shady Pines will get it in my will! 
But if you're ever in Indy, I'll happily give you a dozen!
You should charge no less than $1.00 per cookie. I sell my chocolate chip cookies often and that is what I charge and no one blinks an eye at that price. I always make sure to package them professionally and attractively. Tell me where you can buy a GOOD gourmet chocolate chip cookie for under a dollar? Ms. Fields, they are about $2.00 each! With fine ingredients, chocolate chip cookies are pricey to make.
a 1.5 ounce cookie should be close to a #20 disher I believe

...and of course I eyeballed it and bought a #30 and a #40.

I am a REAL good caregiver...Ha!
Just let me know when you get to Shady Pines and I will come to care for you in exchange for your cookie recipe.
I may be on a walker but I'll still be dishing out goodies!
I know about the "secret recipes". I have a chili mix recipe that I NEVER give out. I will mix the spices for someone for $6.95--you make my Firehouse Chili with 6 lbs. of meat. I always have about 10-20 orders for my mix at Christmas for gift baskets. Even my best friend doesn't know and she knows just about everything from a 30 yr. friendship.
I'm no indydebi, and wouldn't begin to guess her secrets, but I use three sugars in my cookies and banana bread as well... I use both light and dark brown sugars as well as white sugar... It makes an incredible difference in taste and texture. I've experimented over time and come up with my own ratios so you would basically have to do the same, but try that combo someday when you have time to play with your favorite recipe!
A disher is like an ice cream scoop, but it has a thumb lever that pushes out the stuff in the scoop part for you. They come in many sizes and are used by restaurants/caterers/etc. to ensure uniform sizes of portions. Here's a link:

I use this one ... the hand squeeze handle is less 'crampy' on my hands (old lady - arthritis - you know.....!)
I thought about getting the hand trigger one, but I got what the store had. I'll try it out and see how long I go before my thumb gives out! LOL!
I love the kitchen collection store ! I wish we still had one by me 
They do have a website. I can't buy online for most things though, need to see it and feel it. LOL!
I got myself a small scoop and i can't wait to use it for drop cookies. it's such a great idea. i used to make oatmeal cookies and they varied in size from little cute circles to like almost a saucer LOL
I am a firm believer in scoopers. I use them for cookies, muffins, cupcakes and even for portion control on sandwiches that have chicken salad, ham salad etc. When I had a full service restaurant I used them for mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs etc. They are great for keeping your cost in line.
Duh, never thought about using them for muffins or cupcakes. LOL! Thanks for the reminder.
