Kids Make Me Laugh

A Funny Kid Saying....

This Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday the sixth grade went on a camping trip.  I am NOT a camper.  The fifth grade teacher told me she would love to go, so our principal allowed us to change places.  I had the privilege of teaching and baking for her class.

4th Place in the Baked Goods Category

It's Rodeo and Fair weekend.  Which means that I entered the baked goods competition.  I have not been able to enter for the past two years because I was out of town.   I took the extras of all the cookies with me to school for Open House Night. Doubletree Hotel Copycat Chocolate Chip Cookies Every year, HH and I stay at the Doubletree when he has his Mayo Clinic appointments.  I LOVE their cookies.  I will keep it confidential just how many of them I've had.  (You can get them 24 hours a day, all warm and fresh.)  This recipe NAILS it when it comes to their cookies!

Amish Sugar Cookies These are the cookies that I got 4th place for!  We have a family in church who is from Pennsylvania, and they said my cookies were very close to Amish cookies.
