Not only am I the type of person who apparently forgets to pack pants (this is on the heels of the trip to New Jersey where I forgot to pack socks and now own three pairs with boxy-looking dachshunds on them thanks to the Gap sales rack), but I'm also the type of person who forgets to put key ingredients in cookies.
After I wrote that last post, I baked a double batch of chocolate chip cookies to cheer myself up and as I was belting out Carly Simon tunes to myself, washing out the KitchenAid bowl to prepare the kitchen for Yom Kippur, I realized that the salt and baking soda had never made it out of the cupboard.
Josh's workmates just received 48 enormous low-sodium, mostly-flat chocolate chip cookies this morning.
Can you say distracted much?

Oh, Mel. You are the quintessential absent-minded professor.
Without pants.
But you remembered the flour. That is much more essential.
YIKES!!! Hate it when I do that :P
Lucky for you, my co-workers are not too picky.
Meh. The salt and the baking soda work together, so if you had to leave two things out. . .
those were the 2. . . .
I've done that before. The omitted items likely weren't really noticed. I'm sure they loved them.
good one!
But yeah, I've done that once (err. twice... or maybe three times- shoot, I've done it more times than I care to remember), and I hate it when I do!
Could be worse -- you could've forgotten the chocolate chips. That would've been tragic.
It happens to the best of us, I promise. :)
I keep blaming peri-menopause, so I'm off the hook completely.
Better than adding too much salt. Apparently when you double a cookie recipe, you should not double the salt. From experience I know that this leads to inedibly-salty cookies.
I've done things like that before.
Carly is my go-to-gal when the blues are lurking!
Oh dang. That sucks. Hope the coworkers enjoyed the low sodium cookies.
And I bet they ate them anyways ;)
One time I was making a cake, the same time I was making instant tea... I put the instant tea mix in the cake batter instead of the pitcher. I don't double task in the kitchen anymore, lol.
That is funny!!! Flat cookies are good too I say!! I forgot to add yeast to bread I was making much--it turned out rock hard. And I added an extra two sticks of butter to chocolate chip cookies-- they were round and very buttery.
hahaha!
LOVE IT. Low sodim! Yay!
I would sit by the phone if I were you. Bound to be a cookie company out there trying to track you down for your recipe RIGHT NOW.

My mom once forgot to put the oatmeal cookies. :)
ouch! does it help to know that 2 days ago i forgot to rinse the conditioner out of my hair. i realized this hours later out in public
Did you put in lots of chocolate chips? Maybe they never noticed . . .
