White Chocolate Macadamia Choas...

I had a victim friend come over yesterday to help me with my share of our latest fundraiser. We are making homemade cookie dough by the quart to fill orders collected last week. My selected dough was the white chocolate macadamia nut. 29 quarts! An afternoon of dual kitchenaid stand mixers humming along. Lots of chatter from the 5 children. Lots of laughing from the two barely sane mommies. Two semi-used 25 lb bags of flour. Stacks of egg cartons. Boxes of white chocolate chips. A large Tupperware bowl FULL of macadamia nuts. Bag after bag of brown sugar. Box after box of butter. A newly revived appreciation for sticks of Crisco as opposed to the bottomless tub we used. Four hours later, we were cleaning up the mess and staring at the towers of finished product! It was a long day, but so enjoyable. I love my dear friend. And I love being done with large projects!
