The Jiggle Monster

When Elena was about the age
that Stella is now
she used to make
a certain 

noise.

It sounded as if she was trying to speak,
to say the word "tickle" perhaps,
but all that would come out was
'jig-ul, jig-ul, jig-ul, jig-ul."

We nicknamed her "The Jiggle Monster."

This? 
This right here?
This is why I jiggle.
14 tablespoons of butter in this cookie recipe.

It only makes 16 cookies.

Even I can do that math.

Jiggling forever,
A

  1. I found a lighter version of this recipe in the America's Test Kitchen Healthy Family cookbook. The cookies aren't quite as delicious as these, but they still are pretty tasty. I made them last week and brought most to sewing night and the ladies ate them all! This is my new FAVORITE cookbook. I am cooking almost exclusively from this these days. Tonight we are having skillet chicken pot pie from this book- YUM!
