A very sweet weekend....

As I mentioned last week, I hosted my first cookie bake this weekend. our first cookie bake

For as long as I can remember my mom has gotten together with a few of her oldest friends -and by oldest I mean they have been in her life for many moons…not that they have wrinkles-and baked cookies.  I always loved this time of year because it meant a delicious sample session of sugary goodness.

I always secretly wondered why I wasn’t invited.  But now I get it…If kids were there then they couldn’t lick the bowls.  You’re totally forgiven mom.

This year I decided to take matters into my own hands and start hoarding sweets, not good for my thighs but I’ll totally take the stairs all week.

Here are a few of our treats… yummmmm We had a blast, just catching up and trying our best not to burn anything.  I really hope we can make it an annual get together.  Not only do you get to spend time with fun girls, you get cookies too!

Have you ever had a cookie bake?

Got a good recipe I need to know?

Earlier I showed you some ideas for hostess gifts.

If you are wanting to make something handmade and sweet, why not give them “cookies in a jar”.

I know these are all over the net, but they are insanely popular for a reason.
Everyone loves getting and giving them.
Not to mention, you probably have all of the ingredients.

I even made them for a bake sale and they sold like tv’s on Black Friday.

I used this recipe, and even made the cookies to make sure they were tasty.
Spoiler alert:  They were delish.

Have you ever made these?  I love seeing everyone’s creativity when making “cookies in a jar”.  Have you ever made them?  How did you jazz up the jar?
