Valentine Cookie Fun?

So,... I have discovered that when choosing to double a recipie one must be extra catious while doling out the ingredients -especially when one has "prego brain". Otherwise you just might end up putting in 4 times the amount of sugar thinking of the amount of flour called for. Then so it's not a complete waste and so you don't feel like too big an idiot you end up quadrupelling the whole recipie, an insane amount of sugar cookie dough and half your day shot! On top of that when you finally do get around to baking the cookies -if you tried a new recipie be prepared for the first two batches to be a melted together disaster.
Optional lessons to be learned:
1. New recipies are only to be tried in very minimal quantities.

2. Baking is an increadible waste of time /energy and should at least be cheated at with premade dough (especially when prego).

3. Just because a friend may say a recipie is good doesn't make it so.

4. The old addage "Measure twice, cut once" can /should apply to recipies as "Read twice, measure once" or whatever you want it to translate to.

Despite the madness, the girls thoroughly enjoyed playing little bakers with plenty of sampling of course, and since that was the point I guess the event was a succuss after all :).
