I need to roll a bunch of cookie dough and then use cookie cutters on them. The problem: the table I'm using is a sectional table with lots of cracks that not only make the surface bumpy, but that all the flour will fall through and make a mess. Does an affordable product (or project) exist to help resolve this - like a large, roll up, mat? [more inside]

Experimental baking filter: I got this crazy idea to make martini-flavored cookies for a friend's birthday but I'm not sure how to go about it. After pondering over a couple different methods, I'm wondering if it's a doomed idea, as so much of the martini essence is in the alcohol which would cook off during baking. [more inside]

Can anyone actually make six dozen cookies based on the cookie recipe? I can, at best, get three dozen. Unless I use a half teaspoon measure and make cookies sized for Lilliputian midgets, there's no way I get six dozen. Is it me? Is it the lying liars that make these recipes? Betty Crocker, et al, constantly put expectations of dozens of cookies that always come to naught (naught being 24 - 30 cookies). Chipits, j'accuse!
