If you know our family at all... you know we make an obscene amount of cookies each year at Christmas. It's something my Mom used to do also. We start the first weekend of December and make double, even triple batches of each cookie. They get frozen and we start pulling them out a few at a time on Christmas eve. Often, we have Christmas cookies clear through January. Well, today we TRIED to start the cookie making...... 
First.... the mixer stopped working. Seems that dozens and dozens of Christmas cookies in the past has finally fried our mixer. So, it was Dad to the rescue to hand mix a triple batch of snickerdoodles that were in process. Talk about a thick batter to mix up!
As you can see though... it was even a rough job for him!
Then... Kayleigh misread the instructions and baked them for 15-17 minutes!!! She left the kitchen for a few minutes and went back in to find a room full of smoke! The cookies were BLACK... all 4 trays that she started with!!
Finally, after battling all the mess, hand mixing, ruining over 5 dozen cookies, and filling the house with smoke... they were finished!
