Martha Stewart's Twitter Sugar Cookie Recipe
Martha Stewart has more than 1 million followers on Twitter. Here's the Sugar Cookie recipe -- or rather, Twecipe -- that she recently "tweeted."
(Twitter, for the novice, is an online service for sending short messages -- no more than 140 characters are allowed, hence the service is ideal for receiving text messages on a Web-enabled phone as well as online. If someone "follows" you on Twitter, that means they have signed up to receive any 140-character message you "tweet." Recipe "tweeters" enjoy the challenge of condensing a recipe to texting-type abbreviations. For those of us who need a little help, myself included, I have attempted to translate it into Recipenglish.)
