HISTORY/FACTOIDS
This is the same recipe I've been using since the first Cookie Brigade
in 2008.
Over 2,000 of these cookies have been baked for Cookie Brigade to
raise money for Child's Play.
In 2008, after the very first batch, the thick batter destroyed my arm
and I had to break down and buy a stand mixer. It's only ever used for
Cookie Brigade! ([url=http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://www.djbreslin.com/nonSiteRelated/&usg=AFQjCNFTrGqhAgIo-MySYqmTV7SoQ7i-Bg\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank]http://www.djbreslin.com/nonSiteRelated/[/url]
