I remember my home ec teacher telling us that if we mixed cookie dough too long it would make the cookies tough.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your results, especially since it didn't quite turn out as expected. Now I'm in the mood to bake something!Sparkleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738282395161764356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598841562237715955.post-6168120806920526382011-11-08T03:08:50.466-08:002011-11-08T03:08:50.466-08:00Today is baking day at our house.

We found about that fact the hard way once by putting the wrong ingredient in. I think the overstirring would be worse for soda which is a more "pure" reagent (at least I think so). Anyway, I added this post to my Pinterest together with the muffin recipe to try out one day.Natalie PlanetSmartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531558038661679151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598841562237715955.post-35719968632493206372011-11-06T20:22:13.289-08:002011-11-06T20:22:13.289-08:00I'm impressed you can cook muffins before chur...I'm impressed you can cook muffins before church.
