Thursday Treats and Tour!

I promised you treats...and I am here to deliver.
I made my first batch of cookies in my GE Profile Convection/Microwave 
 I showed photos of this new toy on my "Kitchen Tour"!

 

"Cookies are the best food indeed...they do delight and give glad grins!

I am in love, girls...this is a wonderful new tool!
I made Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies...two pans at a time...
...and they turned out just beautifully.
Perfectly browned...each one!

When I was a girl my mom would always cool the cookies on a brown paper bag...
I still do that today, it absorbs the grease and makes me feel closer to my mom.
Does anyone else do this?

Cookies for now...and cookies for later!

 I didn't forget our tour...
Did you wonder where I sit at the computer visiting all of your wonderful blogs?
The hallway upstairs is just wide enough to house my desk!
 
 
The desk just fit perfectly, with plenty of room to walk through the hall!
 
And of course sweet little pearl is close by keeping me company!
 
Here is the recipe for the cookies in case you want to whip up a batch.
As you can see from the soiled page...I have made these many times!

See you tomorrow...

  1. We had a convection oven in our RV. I too loved cooking in it! Your hallway looks like it was made for your desk. That is great how everything fits so well.
    Thanks for stopping by my blog! ~Eileen :0)

    I haven't heard of your brown bag trick--preety cool.
    Your "office area" looks like a productive place. I love where Pearl's bed is.

  6. I never had hear about cooling the cookies on a paper bag but it certainly makes good sense. I saw your little Fur Baby immediately. Mine share one bed right next to my computer desk too. I love how you made use of all space available. But that's why you are called a
    Mental Ninja!!! **kisses** Deb

  7. Yes, I use paper bags for things like cookies and for soaking up the excess oil from homemade french fries hot from the skillet.

    I like your little office area in the hallway!

  8. Oh I just love to see where people blog "from." :-) And your spot is just perfect. Thank you for sharing.

    And now, since I never know when to stop, I'm wondering what those doors lead to? Bedrooms, I imagine...

    I should be *ashamed* for being so nosy but... At 73, if I want to ask a question, I ask. -grin-

    But never answer a question, which you do not want to!

    Gentle hugs...

    Cheers:)

  12. I loved the tour yesterday and today (o: So cozy!
    I just can't bake anymore. I eat to much of it and hubby eats what I don't. There is still plenty availabe to keep the extra pounds on. So glad the oven makes you smile.

  21. Yummm, those cookies look good.
    I will try your recipe. My oven has a convection setting, but don't know how to use it. We got a really good deal on it because it was a store model, but someone had taken off with the manuel.
    One of these days...
    What a great spot for your computer. Mine sits right next to my sewing machine.

  25. It is close to dinner time as I sit here taking a few minutes to visit a few blogs. Your cookies make me wish I could reach through my computer and eat one. Thanks for sharing the recipe and the brown bag tip. Makes sense to me.

    Your desk area looks so cozy and comfortable. It is fun to know where you sit when you visit us.
