We made cow patty cookies yesterday. That's her favorite kind and I was a real trooper and forced myself to try a few. OMG they were awesome!



We plan to make peanut butter ones tomorrow night and a cutout test batch the next. Still trying to talk her into the oatmeal ones though..:sneaky:



This is just a preliminary round to the real cookie baking that will happen this coming weekend.:guitarist

Where I come from cow patty is a whole different kind of thing altogether. You wouldn't eat them unless you were a fly.
