‘Tis the season to hit the baking HARD. I don’t know that I will actually get too because work is burning me out so bad but I am trying people.
These cookies were awesome. They even go well dipped in coffee. Exceptionally well. Just don’t let it hang out in there too long because they break off fast and then you end up with cookie crumbs in the bottom of your coffee and well, that’s not all that bad really. 😉
Recipe here.

Is work killing you with long hours or just because of the nature of the work and the people you have to deal with?
More the nature of the work and people. We’re up to 40 vaccinations per day and that was putting a cap on how many we could do. Our covid testing is also increasing at our store. On average we do about 15/day and our sister store had to cap theirs at 60/day because they were doing almost 100/day with two techs and one pharmacist. This is all on top of filling around 200 prescriptions per day. The phones never stop ringing. It’s just a madhouse with no end in sight currently.
Ouch.
No wonder you’re about burned out. Just reading that makes me want to pull the covers over my head and go back to bed…
I spent most of this past weekend sleeping. I slept 10 hours Saturday night and still took a nap Sunday. It’s just so hard to feel rested anymore. I’m up to two coffees a day just so I can manage schoolwork when I get home. =/
I’m glad to hear so many people are getting vaccinated. I know at one point we were talking about how your pharmacy had to throw away vaccines because people didn’t want them.
We still throw a decent amount away but because we have all 3 and the variety of who gets what throughout the day, some still gets thrown away. It’s better than it was though.
Ah, that makes sense. I know people are looking for certain vaccines at this point. I knew I wanted Moderna because it’s show to have better protection, and I had Pfizer twice. I’m surprised people are still getting J&J. Then again, I read that it’s a great vaccine for people who are unlikely to come back for a second dose, whether that’s someone who is homeless, transient, has troubles remembering to do something (maybe ADHD?), is scared of needles, etc.
I would have done Moderna for my third dose but I did mine just before they came out with that information so three doses of Pfizer for me. Something is better than nothing! (But it’s not one I would personally pick.)
I’ve heard that people who got two Moderna then got a half dose for their booster? But when I signed up for my appointment, I don’t remember if they asked which vaccines I’d had before…
That is true about Moderna. When you go to your appointment, I would just verify what you’re getting before they stick it in your arm. 🙂
It’s already in there, ack! I signed up on the website and described the shots I had before. I’m hoping they did not OD me. At least, I’ve got the strength to type this comment! LOL.
If they did, you’re just extra boosted now! Super Melanie! 😛
I likely glow in the dark.
Yum! ❤ These look so soft and delicious!
Thanks. 🙂 They were a little dry at the same time but I honestly cannot remember is that’s just the nature of molasses cookies.
My grandma used to make my dad molasses cookies, and dude would never share with us! So, oddly, I’ve never had a molasses cookie in my life.
Molasses cookies are awesome so I can’t say I really blame him lol. But to never share once is pretty impressive!
This man is weird about his food. He doesn’t share ANYTHING with ANYONE.
You are definitely one of the front line workers who have kept us all going through this pandemic, and for that I give you a hearty salute and send a sincere Thank You! The cookie recipe looks delicious. I saw one where there made a sandwich with a little buttercream frosting. Maybe you need to take one of those with you to work. 🙂
Thank you. ❤
That cookie sandwich does sound amazing and my coworkers would love me forever lol. Maybe with some holiday baking, I'll give that a try. 😉
Oh hell yeah, this is saved. These look excellent, and I, too, see no problem with cookie crumbs in my coffee. Hell…that sounds like a good name for a song hm.
Haha, it is!
