#172 Quick Ghost Cookies
These were super cute cookies that Joey passed out for Halloween. Mike and I were pleasantly surprised because normally the "cute" cookies, don't actually taste all that good, but these were excellent - a 4 and a 5 from us.
Take nutter butter cookies, dip them in melted white chocolate (need 1lb for a package) and stick two mini-chocolate chips on for eyes.
Joey loved Halloween. He went as a monkey; though he wouldn't wear the hat. Grandma Mary confused him about Halloween though. We went to the nursing home to see Great Grandma, and Grandma Mary had Joey pass out candy to the residents. Later when Auntie Sarah gave Joey candy, he took it out and tried to pass it back to us.
#173 Cranberry Chip Cookies
Another potato bar potluck at school, so whipped these up quickly the Tuesday night before - after I had already driven Mike and Joey to the airport - they visited Grandma and Grandpa in Indiana for a week. Can you believe he took my 1 year old for a week? I told him he owed me; he doesn't seem to think so - he feels I get a vacation. I'll admit, it wasn't terrible to have the house to myself for a whole week, but five days is more manageable to be away.
These were only a 3 - though some at work - who apparently don't have as high as standards - probably because they don't taste all the cookies - thought they were great.
#174 Vanilla Glazed Apple Cookies
While Joey and Mike were gone; I went to a crafting retreat. This might become an annual tradition. Mike and Joey can go down to Indiana to "help" farm and run the combine, and I'll go to the crafting retreat the same weekend.
Anyways, made these cookies for that. Maybe these can be described as an apple pie in cookie format. I wouldn't say they're like warm apple pie. They would for sure be bland without the icing on top. Apple, walnuts and raisins in this cookie.
