heavily floured surface

last night was dedicated to baking christmas cookies and other- for lack of better words- treats with my mom. this has always been my favorite. making a list of what we want and then doing it all in one night. but, life has gotten ahold of us and we havent done christmas baking like this in 3 years. so needless to say i was really looking forward to it. this year on the list was the following: decorated sugar cookies, buckeyes  (peanut butter, powdered sugar, butter mixed balls dipped in chocolate leaving the look of a buckeye), peanut butter ritz covered in chocolate, my grandmas famous chex mix, and magic cookie bars.

the last thing i did last night was the sugar cookies. we didnt want to leave it in the fridge for an hour like most directions say to do- so we found a new recipe and i followed it strictly. if i didnt know i was literal enough already i knew after this experience. so i make the dough and put it in a ball and read "roll dough out on a heavily floured surface". so i take the flour out and pour flour and spread it around.

i plop the dough on top and begin to roll. i mention- "hope i didnt flour it too heavily". my mom looks over and laughs. hard. and says "doug look at how much flour she put on the counter." he laughs. we measured a cup and a half of flour on the surface.

heavily is a strong word in my defense.
