cookie issues

I love cookies, and I love making my own cookies. Getting out the ingredients is fun, measuring is fun, mixing is fun, eating is fun. The part that isn't fun? Putting the cookie dough on the cookie sheet! For whatever reason, I *despise* that part of it. It's so tedious, and there's all sorts of issues about spacing to consider! It is also the part I dislike the most when making muffins, or cupcakes. Multiple filling just makes me groan. I suppose I should just start making cake. One big blob of batter into one container, and done with it! But while I like cake, I love cookies so much more.
