We can't leave butter out because the dog eats it. He steals any food left out on the counter, but his favorite is butter. His cholesterol must be through the roof!
Thus, I have been forced to experiment with ways to soften it w/o the luxury of leaving it out. I will ue the microwave if I have to, but I mostly detest it and rarely use it. Sometimes if I am already cooking I will put a stick on the oven top. Not over direct heat or anything.
I read an article that suggested putting it under my arm. But... well, I don't really want to try that! I have carried it in my hand while I do other things though.
I only like the M&Ms with almonds.
I'm with you on the microwave thing. I always end up ruining the butter. I have put it on the stovetop also, while the oven warms. I've also basically kneaded the butter and sugar together when the butter wasn't quite softened enough. I do this also when I make muffins because I don't use the electric mixer and my egg beater isn't great. Yesterday, I didn't have time for no electricity, though.
The cookies were really good.
Thank you SO much for all the goodies. Although I still don't have a lot of time to cook, I fortunately figured out what was making me so tired, so now I at least have energy. To eat. :)
Pic chose the type of cookies. You're welcome for the food. J and I had fun making it for you.
I'm glad you figured out what was making you so tired. I hope all goes well with that.
