Cookie Time

I don't know if anyone else saw this, but a while ago, Betty Crocker had a thing where you could sign up to be picked to host a cookie party. And they provided everything! So I thought, why not? Then a couple of weeks ago I got an email saying I had been picked as a host. Oh shoot....now I had to plan a party! But it turned out really fun. They sent me a whole box of STUFF including some cookie mixes, coupons, items for goody bags, lots of misc. things AND a $15 gift card to purchase other ingredients. THANK YOU Betty Crocker, pretty great!
So....I started planning. They were trying to promote treats you could make using their cookie mixes as your starting base.
Here we are ready to go...
in corner #1 - chocolate cranberry biscotti
corner #2 - Christmas tree brownies
corner #3 - ooey -gooey caramel bars
corner #4 - peanut butter kisses
Everyone starts their assignments...looks intense, huh?!!





1st pan into the oven!
























These were the most fun to do!

take home goodies

The chaos in our wake...





We had a fun (if slightly crazy!) group including a few friends from church, 2 of my neighbors, and 2 other friends from the community. There were lots of laughs!


Everyone got to take home a plate of cookies and I even had enough to take to some of my other neighbors as well. Can I just say I am a big fan of baking together? It was a lot of fun!

Thanks Betty (if I hadn't mentioned you enough already). I should seriously get paid for this. I'm also available for commercials. :)
