NO NO NO NO NO! You combine flour and leavening in one batch, fat, egg, and sugar in the other, THEN combine.

I think I may have done this in my head while cooking dinner after a marathon design/retouching session.

I think I have a problem.

This recipe apparently does not have any leavening so it's not quite as bad as all that.

For me the bigger issue was the (alleged) use of a wire whisk to mix a stiff cookie dough. Entirely the wrong tool for the job.

I don't bake so I can say: that's cute!

I liked the miniskirt and hot pants slider.

I'm glad my mouse doesn't click like that when I move it.

I was totally charmed by this. None of the baking silliness or poor photoshop action/cooking action analogies bother me. My favorite part was with the cutters. Doop! Doop! Doop! Doop!

Although raisins on shortbread, wtf?

Cute cooking videos for all!

Charming little clip. It's true that the whisk is not the right tool to mix a stiff cookie dough. That happens to be exactly the whisk that I use in my kitchen, though, which made me like the clip even more.

I had to watch it on mute because the inexplicably perpetually clicking mouse grated on my nerves after the first 15 seconds. Cute, though.

Is this something that I would have to be able to afford Photoshop to be able to understand?

Okay, this was adorable.

Even out of cardboard I hate the Windows UI.

Quality, Quanty, Density? Does this need some Photoshop in its Photoshop?

So. Raw image formats are best to start with in this instance, at least.

I'll show myself out....

Tuxtpaint actually has sound effects like that built in. My 7yr old fell out of his chair when he didn't realize that the volume was turned up all the way when he clicked on the toilet icon and got blasted by a very, very loud flush.

I loved the fact that it is so contrarian. Everything, all the menus, is made by hand, all the lettering carefully hand drawn.

In a way this video is mocking computers and the output generated by computers.

Time to go eat some cookies.

GIMP cookies have chocolate chips.

Wow, you OS pedants just can't let it go, can you?

Except for spelling 'Quantity' and 'Quanty'.

CS4 makes WAY better cookies.

Other than the whisk and the, "Hmm....currants on butter cookies?!" issues, I loved this. Lots of loving detail.
