Only that stupid blank keeps updating.
Survived a fundraiser cookie baking marathon today.
Did you know there are actual adult American women who have NEVER baked cookies from scratch?
One of them can no longer say that after assisting us!
Our teen girls clubs baked well over 1,000 cookies today; they're in 500 sandwich bags, with anywhere from 2 - 6 cookies in a bag.
Depending upon how big the cookies were and who was bagging them.
We're hoping that we'll have 500 folks at church tomorrow who are willing to donate a buck for a bag and support one of our own young ladies, who is going to be spending a year with the girls at Stella's Voice in Moldova.
We had a little mixup with the ingredients; one batch of chocolate chip cookies got made w/instant bananna cream pudding instead of instant vanilla pudding.
It took us a while to figure out why they tasted funny; ultimately a quick check of the trash can confirmed the suspicion that it was the pudding.
Sometimes those things happen when multiple folks are buying ingredients.
But they actually aren't too bad, once you know what happened, and we now have a new exotic cookie flavor...'Banana Chocolate Chip'.
Which we have packaged at 4 or 5 to a bag.
Can I just say that one of these is very helpful when making quadruple batches of cookies?
A little follow up...what we cleared with the cookie sale for our missionary was $589.90. Woo-hoo!!!
