We went to a potluck a while
back and one of the things I brought were these cookies. I left a few at
home for the family to munch on but took the majority to the potluck.
It was a rainy day and we were one of the first to leave so of course I
had to take my cookies with me. I guess they went over pretty well,
because as we were leaving, people were asking me...."are those the
cookies?" "did you make those?" "can I have a couple before you leave?".
So my hopes that I would be taking some home were quickly dashed as I
looked into the container and saw just a few left. We came home, I had
one, IT Guy had a couple and then there was one lonely little cookie
left and it was in crumbs. Right about then my mom called and asked if
there were any cookies left. IT Guy told her the condition of the ONE
that was left and she said, "that's okay. Save it for me." So I'm
guessing these were a success. What do you think?
