Tight and Fluffy

The rolo cookie recipe said, “Beat one cup sugar, brown sugar and butter until ight and fluffy.”
I decided to fix the typo but I was on the phone and distracted so I just added a “t” in front of “ight.” Later when I was attempting to make the cookies (for the third time), I kept giggling when I would read “Beat…until tight and fluffy.”


And then it made me think of that song, “Ridin’ Dirty” so I made up my own lyrics:


They see me bakin’
They hatin'
Makin’ Mistakins
Tryin’ to make ‘em tight and fluffy
Tryin’ to make ‘em tight and fluffy
Tryin’ to make ‘em tight and fluffy

So the real question is, did they turn out tight and fluffy? Yes! They were cookie exchange worthy:




Were they as good as Mandy’s? No. Not even close. But still…they were pretty good. And while most of them looked lovely, like these:







There were some that would have fit in better at a trailer park cookie exchange, like these:




But really, the best part of the cookie exchange was getting to eat everyone else’s cookies:


Look at those!! I got to take them home!
Now that is what I call tight and fluffy.

They look so good Elsa!! I can't wait to make a batch up here. Hopefully I won't mess them up too much, darn elevation :)

I wish I could blame my baking probs on elevation.

I'm waiting for the mail man to arrive so I can give him some cookies.

This reminds me of Weird Al Yankovic's take on the same song... I think y'all could be friends.

Yes, I think his version is what inspired me. I'll send him some rolo cookies.

The mailman (person) loved them!
