Happy Easter

Wow, I took almost 6 weeks off from baking cookies.  Life has been busy, but there just hasn't been occasions to have cookies for.  Or it seems that maybe everyone in the family is eating healthier - because the few times I've had cookies, I've brought most of them home.  No, that can't be it.  If anything we're (or at least I am) eating more junk.  Valentine's Candy, Easter candy, birthdays - speaking of which - I'll be 33 this week.      

We did have a movie weekend at the cabin - brought up batch #235: Coconut Caramel Oat Cookies
A no-bake treat.  Daddy and Joey and Jessie stayed home and had a Daddy and kids weekend.  I found out that those entail: Dairy Queen, Burger King and McDonald's.

#236 and #237
Meringue Bunnies and Frosted Raspberry Bars
These were my contribution to Easter.  Except - I spent how long making these bunnies (pictured) just for my oldest to jump up and down in the kitchen causing vibrations to knock the bucket these cookies were sitting in - over - causing just about all the bunnies to lose their ears.

The raspberry bars - a lot of fuss for an okay treat.  Lattice pastry work is a bit to do.

Sorry about this post for anyone who actually reads it.  Easter is exhausting and I just want to get this down.  Any ideas appreciated for making the recording of this cookie journey a little more entertaining.
