Mmmm... nothing like chewy chocolate chip cookies and milk! The problem with my generation (I am 23) is that not many girls can cook :(. Not in NYC at least.

How sad is that? Once again, the feminists have gotten away with brainwashing little girls into believing that cooking is demeaning. I'm a 43 year old guy who's always done ALL the cooking in our house. My wife was raised by hippies and she couldn't boil water without burning it. I'm printing this great thread.

Well, get yourself a good basic cookbook (with pictures and explanations of terms) and learn! I taught my two older sons to bake when they were in high school. They were motivated because they wanted something sweet one time some friends were coming over. I taught them how to make my Buttermilk Cake (a delicious Pound cake) and Chocolate Chip Cookies. Since going to college, they cook for themselves and friends. I got my 19 yr. old soph. at Carnegie Mellon a wok, chef's knife and other cooking stuff for his birthday (his request!).

And in honor of Cookie Exchange Sunday, I'll be teaching my 11 yr. old son and 13 yr. old daughter to bake cookies (my Fruit Cake Cookie recipe which I'll post in a little while). So use this opportunity to get some good recipes and AMAZE your friends!
