Thin Cookie Madness

Because the true measure of a Brown woman (or McKeever or Smart) is how thin her thin cookies are, I decided to accept the challenge. The pictures below attempt to demonstrate their thiness, though admittedly it's hard to capture with a mere photo. Rest assured they are thinner than the thinnest piece of paper.

At least the first couple batches were. I'm sick of making them and Jason is now trying to use up the dough by making some thick thin cookies.

I guess you did it! They look as thin as mine so I think you passed the test. I no longer attempt these so I'm happily passing the torch. In the immortal words of Tasha Hancock, "I hate those sons of bitches!" Were they worth the effort? If you can make them, there's hardly a baking challenge out there that you couldn't meet.
Try Christmas bread next.. That's one whole hell of a lot easier.

Dear Katie,

Yummo. I'll bet your thins are as thin as the best, and in fact, may taste even better than the best. But I won't know that until I get some to try (hint hint). But, whatever you do, don't hide them in the cupboard in order to make it through the holidays, and then forget about them until next December. They will be way past their expiration date by then.

Keep up the good work. And by the way, who was that house boy cleaning up in the background? Oh I know, it was a disgruntled Chi Town Bear fan!

You know, I hear the only thing more aggravating than making thin cookies is watching someone eat 5 hours of work in 5 minutes. You should make them last by only dolling out 1 thin cookie every third day.
