The Cookie Caterer

My marathon cookie baking is finally finished, and it was a lot of fun!

I ended up baking (or no baking) just over 21 dozen cookies. There were plenty left over for snacks at home, but the Vanilla Iced Sugar Cookies made it just one day, they were so tasty.

I ended up taking the cookies this morning, and I loaded up my hubby’s car with 5 roasting pans of cookies. I lucked out though. My Mother in Law was visiting this morning, so she helped me carry in all of the cookies at VBS. My kitty was sad to see the cookies go, he loves baked goods… Dylan was happy to sample a new recipe, so no complaints from him.

I had so much fun baking, and I have signed up to bake another 10 dozen cookies for another local VBS. It looks like I’ll be spending more time in the kitchen, but I’m looking forward to it.
