Cookies vs. Practice

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI8jE4Wqk4Y (This is the site so you can listen to a professional play the song.)
So I was playing this song written by Johan Sebastian Bach, That proved to be quite difficult! It was Prelude and Fugue Book 2, No. 12 from teh The Well-Tempered Clavier. So what do I do, give up in frustration (for now) and go eat one of my awesome new cookies I made last night. It from a cake box of which I will now share the recipe, go try it, you will love it!

Chunky Chocolate Cookies
(makes 3 1/2 to 4 dozen cookies)
1 package Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix
2 large eggs
1/2 cup buuter or margine, melted (I used butter, I don't believe in margerine)
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Mexican Vanilla is the best, thanks Mom!)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (Next time I'm going to try white chips and omit the nuts)
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (I used pecans, it sounded better)
Preheat oven to 350. Stir together everything except chips and nuts then fold in. Bake for 12 minutes for soft and 14 minutes for crispy. (I like my cookies soft . . . this is the first recipe I cooked at the time suggested and for the time suggested and they were soft!)

So you decide, practice or cookies . . . the choice was easy for me! Go ahead, make some cookies!
