The "Log" Method

Karli and I were very busy today baking cookies for our first market: The Binford Farmer's Market. We were doubling batches and scooping away when...

...our scoop pooped out on us. Many a swear words were shouted. I began "eye balling" the correct amount of dough and started making each ball by hand. And after losing loads of precious time, I only had a few dough balls made.I had to come up with a solution so...

...the log method ensued. The log method: roll out some dough into a log shape.

Slice the log into small pieces.

Roll the pieces into a ball form.

Yay, mostly-same-sized dough balls!
Come and check out our booth at the Binford Farmer's Market from 8-12 on Saturday (the 4th). The market is located in the Fellowship Hall at the Divine Savior Lutheran Church, 7315 East 75th Street, just East of the fire station. Hope to see you there!
