“baked to impress.” love it.

and mara, sometimes i think my life would be so much simpler (read: skinnier) if not for my love of the cookie.

Brooke, I’m in love with this post even though I despise baking, was not a cooking-apprentice of any sort to my mother, and my husband knows that if he wants cookies, he’ll have to visit a bakery to get them. Here’s hoping for daughter-in-laws that bakes.

The love of your cookies has turned into a love for you. So well written Brooke. I am so happy to have you for a sister-in-law. And that is not just because you always have such great treats on the counters at your house!

Love it! Love Cookies!! Love You!!

My first major family function with the in-laws ( a baby blessing) I too baked to impress. I had them at the peanut butter thumbprints, and I had the kids at the frosted sugar cookies.

Cookies=LOVE

Yum, cookies… I love to make cookies with the kiddos. Not as much as YOU, but enough. We rarely get ours out the door either. Great post.

Very cute story. Thanks for taking me on a journey so real that I want to eat cookies right now!
However, I want your cookies not mine.
Others always taste better to me.
Add the singing and you have divinity soaring about the spirit of Christmas and so much love. Amazing what a homemade cookie can do to one.

Awww…cookies….whenever I think of the love of a cookie I always think of the Rugrats where Angelica explains to Tommy her love of cookies. Enjoy the following….

“Rugrats: I Remember Melville/No More Cookies” (1994)

Angelica Pickles: [flashback about cookies] I learned all the different varieties. Chocolate chip! Oatmeal! Gingerbread! [flashback ends]

Angelica Pickles: Each one delicious, special in it’s own way. So you see, Tommy, cookies made me who I am.

Brooke, obviously….cookies have made you who you are too. And that is something to be proud of…good luck actually delivering the baked goods today.
