The Chocolate Chip Cookie
The chocolate chip cookie is a type of drop cookie created in 1933 by Mrs. Ruth Wakefield of the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts.
The exact reasons why Mrs. Wakefield created the chocolate chip cookie are debated. In the Nestlé version of the story, Mrs. Wakefield planned to make chocolate cookies but ran out of baker's chocolate, so instead substituted bits of Nestlé semi-sweet chocolate which did not melt and blend in with the rest of the cookie as intended.
Also in the Nestlé story, the chocolate chip cookie became a popular local care package shipped to Massachusetts soldiers stationed overseas in World War II. Soldiers from other parts of the U.S. sampled these cookies and also began asking for shipments of the Toll House Inn cookies. Mrs. Wakefield was quickly inundated with recipe requests and soon the chocolate chip cookie became very popular all across the United States.
The Atomic Bomb
The atomic bomb is a type of nuclear weapon first developed and deployed by the United States during World War II. Little Boy, a uranium bomb, was dropped on the city of Hiroshima on Monday, August 6, 1945. Fat Man, a plutonium bomb, was detonated over Nagasaki, Japan, by the United States on August 9, 1945.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Manhattan Project developed the atomic bomb. The project was originally named the "Laboratory for the Development of Substitute Materials" but was later modified to "Manhattan Engineer District" (MED) and nicknamed "The Manhattan Project."
Nuclear technology was then developed by the USSR in 1949 and, when combined with rocketry developments of the 1960’s, it became possible for both the U.S. and U.S.S.R. to deliver a nuclear weapon anywhere in the world. The technologies grandfathered by the atomic bomb have since proliferated to the United Kingdom, France, China, India, South Africa, Pakistan, and Israel.

Recipe:
Use any chocolate chip cookie recipe.
Baking Instructions:
The cookies will be easiest to cut out with a cookie cutter if you prepare and bake the cookies "pan-style" instead of "drop-style." This is done by filling the bottom 1/4" of a 9x13 baking sheet with about 1/4 of your dough.
Cookie Cutter Creation:
Create cookie cutters in the shape or your favorite nuclear detonation delivery device. I find "Fat Man" and "Little Boy" particularly intriguing, so I used their shapes for my cookies.
It is easiest to make this cookie cutters by bending a small strip of of 1/2 inch copper strap into shape. Copper strap is available in the plumbing section of your local hardware store.
Nancy's Wedding Almond cookies
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup confectioners sugar (powdered) + more for dusting or rolling cookies
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
1/4 cup Almonds chopped very fine
1. In a medium sized bowl whisk together the flour, cornstarch salt and almonds
2. In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter and sugar until creamy and smooth (about 2 minutes). Beat in the almond extract, Add the flour mixture and beat just until incorporated, Cover and refrigerate the batter for an hour or two, or until firm.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and place rack in center of oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
When batter is firm, form into 1 inch (2.5 cm) balls and place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 1 inch apart.
Bake for about 10 - 14 minutes or until the edges of the cookies just start to brown. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool for about 3-5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack that is placed over a sheet of parchment or wax paper.
Put the confectioners sugar in a fine strainer or sieve and sprinkle the tops of the cookies with the sugar… Or just roll the cookies in the powdered sugar…Enjoy
These cookies store very well. Place in an airtight container between sheets of wax paper and they will keep a couple of weeks.
Makes about 3 dozen cookies.

One of three cookies for my entry to the 2009 Capital Confectioner's Sugar Art Show in Austin, Texas.
Some of the 250 odd cookies i made for a kids expo a few weeks ago. There were also rugby shirts and cupcakes but these all were sold so I didnt get a chance to photograph them all. A fun day put on by the kindy association that has so much for teh kids to do.
This a trial-run of a cake-topper that I'm doing in a few weeks time for a house-warming/birthday cake! Watch this space for the final thing.....
The house is made of chocolate-flavoured cookie dough, flooded with royal icing with a polka-dot pattern. The flowers on the roof and heart are fondant. The whole thing is held together with royal icing. It was lots of fun to make!
Just thought I'd package the whole thing up and tie with a pretty bow!
Just for fun, I tried crocheting some cookies. And when my friend saw them, she said I needed to add a glass of milk. So, I made about a dozen chocolate chip and a dozen "oreo-like" cookies and a glass of milk!
When I showed them to a woman I know who owns a gift shop, she said she would love to put them on the table in her shop because she was having a tea party! She said she would put them in little gift bags and packages with cute bows and offer them for sale.
She did sell some but there are a few cookies left that are still wrapped. I love how she packaged them!
