I made a batch of Wookiee Cookies this morning. Can you smell their sweet aroma? Oh, how I wish you could be here with me so I could share them with you. I'd gladly do that (so I wouldn't have to eat them all myself ). I hope you won't be turned off by the fact that they emerged from the oven on the . . . shall we say . . . flat side. This is the second time this month this has happened with my batch of Wookiee Cookies! (I shared the first batch with ewanandhaydenfan5, jedipug1 and jediprincess77 when we got together at the beginning of this month to celebrate jp77's [and mine, as it turned out! ] birthday.) This is getting quite frustrating. I don't know if it's my (new!) box of baking soda. I don't sift the dry ingredients as directed in the recipe (let's just say I'm not one for following directions ), but that never has hindered the outcome before. I just don't know what to make of this situation. They taste just fine. They just don't look quite like the Wookiee Cookies they should. Oh well. Once they get past one's lips, does it really matter?

Whether you've baked up a batch of Wookiee Cookies yourself, have a cup of steaming, aromatic coffee or tantalizing herbal tea within easy reach or are munching on your lunchtime snack while you toil away at your desk , I would like to invite you to hop on over to YouTube to check out my oldest padawan's music video. Yes, I'm playing the part of proud parent here. Considering the fact that she did not have a studio or sophisticated equipment at her disposal (which she never has had for any of her film projects, thus teaching her the art of improvisation ), I think she did a pretty darn good job (YouTube's quality does not measure up to her equipment. Oh well.). While her selection was not Star Wars related, if you look closely at the background of those shots filmed in her bedroom, you'll see this soon-to-be Trojan film student's Star Wars connection.

If you have a mind to, I know my padawan would love to have you leave a comment. (You must have a YouTube account to do so. Such an account is free, fyi.)

Thanks, my friends.

Have a great day!
Hope you enjoyed the cookies (even if you had to use your imagination)!
