The best investment (aside from a Southwest Rapid Rewards Card for travel to and from BWI) I have made over the past year has been to buy a miniature ice cream scoop from Bed, Bath, & Beyond. It is great to scoop in the cookie dough to make symmetrical cookes every time without a lot of mess.

I have used this simple idea for many occasions after it was such a big success with my favorite mid.
When I make brownies, any recipe or mix, I do not bake them in a 9X13 pan, etc. I use a cup cake pan, no paper cups, just cooking spray. Fill each cup about half way. This makes a perfect size. One mix will make 12 brownies. Be sure to let them cool well in the pan before removing or the crusty top will separate from the bottom. I put each serving in a sandwich size zip lock bag. They stay fresh and are so easy to share or to eat on the run.
