New People and UnCookies

We were excited to find that we had 11+ new people at our first club meeting. When I counted there were 35 total people. That's amazing. We also got a lot of old members back who had fallen by the wayside. So hopefully everyone comes back next week.

Since we had 11 new members we exceeded the bet that I (Chloe) started. I asked all of the current members how many new people they thought would show up at the first meeting. The highest guess was 10. Since we exceeded that everyone will get treats next week.

All of the series are pretty fun and everyone seems to enjoy them a lot.

We handed out Detour application forms that are due September 18th.

I (Chloe) made chocolate chip cookies for the first meeting to greet everybody. Only to discover I didn't have enough butter and I didn't have any eggs or vanilla. Time to improv. I added extra shortening to make up for the butter, replaced the vanilla with cocoa powder, and added caramel/vanilla coffee creamer to  replace the eggs. 

Anyway they still turned out pretty good even though they were really sugary. 

*update* I discovered they were so sugary because I was using mislabeled measuring cups. 

Cookie dough.

Cookies. They needed more flour and less sugar.
