And cookies can be very pretty.
Have you ever discovered
a new cookie recipe
that just made you
giddy?
These rootbeer cookies
did it for me.
Oh, the giddyness.
Rootbeer in the frosting, too.
These are so good
that they didn't
even make it to
the table.
HAPPY SPRING WEEKENDING!!!!!

Cooking? Baking? What's that? Where do you find the time? I feed my family, but I don't think it's actually considered "cooking." More like "preparing" food. All easy stuff. You've inspired me to get in there and bake some cookies.
