Fat Fluffy Snickerdoodles

I semi fell off the face of the earth this week. And next week I will totally fall off the face of the earth. Last night Rachel and I spent quality time in Whitman until 2am with our accounting book and next week I don't think we'll be leaving until Thursday at 6:20. We have our final finance test Tuesday, Supply Chain and Marketing both Thursday then see ya later Core classes, hello no class Tuesday/ Thursday.

Yesterday I picked out my classes for senior year. Oh, okay..............no.

Yesterday was Koji's birthday and since I deem every night after a test a night free of work I figured I'd make him some cookies to bring over tomorrow. Mariah had mentioned he loved these snickerdoodles she had made before so while she was being an astute student I baked.

Our kitchen is missing half the ingredients I needed, okay maybe two but I made do from borrowing sugar from next door and substituting almond extract for vanilla. And fun fact, almond extract smells awful. And also induces hives upon my face. Lose- Lose.
