Ana's school is having a bake sale Thursday to coincide with Parent-Teacher Night.

I'm baking!

But what am I baking?

I was going to bake mint chocolate brownies, so as to irritate Lizziey when I posted about it (yes, I'm a mean Connie), but they didn't have what I needed at the store. Now I am the one irritated. I'd blame karma, but I didn't even do anything yet, and it's just not fair!

So my current list includes:

Double chocolate chip cookies (definitely - must buy more chocolate chips probably)

Possibilities:

Pepper cookies (maybe. depends on how willing I am to shell out for almond paste or, alternatively, crack and grind my own almonds)
Lavender cookies? (A half batch if I do.)
Cinnamon refrigerator cookies? (Fridge smell is a worry)
Oatmeal cookies? (They always scream "healthy", though, and who wants healthy?_
Blondies? Those'd be for me!
Garlic cookies? (No, probably not, but I love mentioning them. If you forget that they're insane, they're not half bad.)
Carrot cupcakes? (Mmm... I was gonna make them with ricotta, but I forget to get, and the buffalo milk ricotta guy isn't back at Union Square until FRIDAY, so I'd have to use cream cheese, and while that *is* more for me - that is, the school - it doesn't exactly scream fair, now does it?)
Gingerbread letters (if I have all my letter cookie cutters, otherwise it'd be gingerbread something elses)

And I'm getting my friend Kimberly to make marshmallows. If they make it to the school, it'll be a miracle. Those things are delicious. (I'm working hard to convince her to send her kids to the school next year and the year after. I have to call her and remind her that pre-k registration has a due date.)

Clearly I'm not making four different types of cookies. That would be absurd. And barely do-able. (Okay, it's not so clear, because left to my own devices I'd probably drown the school in cookies!) Which ones should I make, though? Does anybody have any other ideas? I'm making the chocolate chip cookies to sell, and the other one more for fun, so it doesn't matter if it's a little weird because, dammit, I'm gonna enjoy myself! (If I really want to enjoy myself, I'd better get a second bag of chocolate chips. *sigh* I'll run out later tonight, get some freezer bags as well.)

[Poll #1366087]

Edit: I'm a dolt. When answering the poll, the second question? DO NOT PICK CHOCOLATE CHIP. They're a given. I'm too lazy to do a new poll, so just avoid that answer.

Pear Ginger Muffins are delish, and I must share the recipe with you one day.

Only thing is the recipe doesn't make that many, and isn't a friend to doubling. Hm...

I wonder though... maybe I can modify the recipe to make pear ginger *bread* and just slice it up?

That sounds like it would work.


And yes, plz2b sharing recipe!
