Cookies In A Jar

I'm tired, of course. The official start of the TNT's summer season is tomorrow at the Kick-off and Fund-raising Faire. I volunteered for "Cookies in a Jar/Bake Sale." I have a few recipes that were given to me last year but never used them and never sold any cookies in a jar, but here I am signing up for it.

At work I printed and copied all the necessary flyers and recipes and labels for the jar. On the way home I bought some mason jars. Thankfully I already have all the ingredients to bake cookies at home. Before I assembled the jars with the dry ingredients, they're not baked, I need to make sure the recipe works well and the cookies taste yummy. Yes, anything containing that much butter tastes yummy!

Unfortunately I ran out of salt and flour and could only make three jars and one batch of cookies. I was surprised to see that two dozen cookies come out of one jar! Now I can see why Nicole, the woman I got all the info from, sold the jars for $10 each or three for $25. Not a bad deal for a nice jar and cookies.

Now all I have to do is wake up early and set everything up for the faire at 7:45 am. Yay, waking up early on a Saturday morning! Got to love it. Too bad I'm not waking up to go for a run. I can't wait.

INTRODUCING RASCAL!
Rascal my raccoon! I picked this little guy up at Avenue of the Giants. Right from the start he loved getting into my candy. That's when I named him Rascal.

He tried to eat my peanut M&Ms!

Now he's trying to eat the cookies I baked for the Kick-off!

Bad Rascal! No cookie for you!
