They're selling fresh cookies during intermission at a local dance recital. Apparently this year is the most successful thus far. So much so that they called and asked me to make some cookies for tomorrow's session! So here I sit smelling chocolate chip cookies... and not allowed to taste them --ha! I'm telling myself that I'm better off this way anyhow!! I'm not sure it's working!!
(I need every last one I can squeeze out of this recipe as I ran out of sugar and can't make more cookies!) I made the recipe on the Chipits bag which uses 2 cups of flour and is supposed to make 4 dozen cookies. I got 15 cookies out of it!! Okay so they're 3 inches across... :oDRandal is out doing a local wine tour with the bus... he enjoys this as he is your typical boy that loves big trucks, buses, etc!! lol.. He just does this on the side.... usually works out to about every other weekend... we miss having him here when he's away doing this but I guess every bit helps. His been shuttling people around town off and on all day today and should be getting home tonight at about 1 am. That makes for a long day for him.
Tomorrow is Sunday and I'm on the worship team, which means that we leave the house at 8:30 am... ouch! I guess that's not really that early.. just is for a Sunday. The girls have their fundraiser again tomorrow afternoon and then we have our small group meeting at 5. It's looking like a busy day again tomorrow..
I've been working pretty much every day for the last couple of weeks. It's great exercise doing yardwork. I've been out enjoying the sun and fresh air. And all that fresh air sure makes me sleep well.
I hope you're all having a great weekend. Take care.
UPDATE:
They made about $600 over Friday and Saturday night and Sunday afternoon... Not bad when they didn't have any expenses to cover for it! Who'd have thought one could make that much selling COOKIES!?!?! This goes to help them fund events that some kids would miss out on because of family financial situations and sometimes the youth will put something together for a needy family in town.

Those cookies look so tempting and can understand why they are proving so popular.
Enjoy the day.
What a great mom you are to jump in and make additional cookies for the fund raiser. Hope they earn a lot!!! I NEVER get the number of cookies the receipe claims they'll make either.

thanks Peter.. and thank you too Susan....they wanted these cookies to be "Jumbo" cookies... so yeah definitely not the # as per directions!
Oh Heather now I'm craving some chocolate chip cookies!!!
You're my kind of gal! 3 inch chocolate chip cookies:) YUM! You are a stronger woman than me, I would have had to test them out, hehe. I hope you had a great Sunday!
DELICIOUS! Wow-I am hoping for a turnout like that for my bake sale on Saturday (at my yardsale) PenDOT is across the road and the men pass by my house several times a day-I *HOPE* they are tempted to buy my cookies.
Now-for a ??? How much did you charge? Did you wrap them alone or in packs? I am trying to figure out MY pricing...
They were individually wrapped. They sold for $1 each. I'd wrap them singly and in 3s/$2 if I were you -especially if it's guys that work there...and maybe singly too. I think I got 9 of them on a long cookie sheet.
By the way.. what is PenDOT?
PenDOT is Pennsylvania's Department of Transportation.
hehehe. Sorry.
Yep-they are all guys and so I am HOPING they stop by in the am for cinnamon rolls and on their way home for pies! ;-)
Thanks for the tip. I wonder if I could get away with that price since I don't have cutie pie girls selling for a good cause?!? :-)
I should have figured that out I guess.. since we call it the D-O-T here.. I didn't know that you live in Pennsylvania though so... anyway.. good luck with the bake/yard sale!
