All Everything Cookies

Yesterday, I went to the pool (to pretend like I'm an Olympian) and got out after only 30 minutes because it started to thunder and lightning.  After I got home and showered, I looked out the window at our normally amazing view of the Flatirons, and saw this:

I quickly searched the internet to find out what was going on.  It was a 1-acre brush fire.  A few minutes later it was a 6-acre brush fire.  And about a half hour after that, it was somewhere between 200 and 300 acres.

Even though I grew up in Utah, I have never been this close to a wildfire (and I guess neither has anyone else in the city of Boulder).

Last night we sat out on the deck and looked through binoculars at the flames that started to come up over the ridge line and thought about what we would take with us if we got evacuated.

We decided on our passports, birth certificates, etc.  Our camping gear just out of practicality since we obviously wouldn't have a place to sleep.  Climbing gear, because it's already in the car.  And I think I'll bring my Kitchenaid :)

Without a Kitchenaid, it would be significantly harder (definitely not impossible though) to make these cookies.
