It's her birthday, and she'll bake if she wants to!

Day 19---Saturday

Saturday B got her little red wagon and sold 20 boxes of cookies---the first day of GS cookie sales.

Day 150---Friday

I was making cookies today. J and Larry are going to the Ovies tomorrow---the awards for J's troupe group. It is a fundraiser for their TNT conference next week, so tickets cost money and B and I aren't going. I am contributing to the event by baking cookies with musical theme and also stars. I love to see cookies all in a row!

This is an excellent sugar cookie recipe:

1 cup butter or margarine

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla

2 tsp. baking soda

3 cups flour

Cream sugar and butter. Add in egg and vanilla and beat until smooth. Add in baking powder and one cup of flour. Beat until mixed well, and add in the rest of the flour one cup at a time.

No need to chill the dough!

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. roll out dough and cut into shapes. Bake for 7-9 minutes, depending on the size of your cookies.

This cookie cutter is from my Grandmother J.'s house. I think it was hers, but my Mom has one just like it. So maybe I have Mom's? Anyway, I like this cookie cutter because it reminds me of Christmas in Memphis when I was a little girl. Mom would make sugar cookies with these red cutters----treble clef, angel, reindeer. The smell makes me happy!

Day 54---Sunday

These are the girls selling cookies one last time. We were trying to get rid of many cookies that we have extras of. We sold out of Thin Mints, Samoas, and Do-Si-Dos before the afternoon was over. These extra two girls are sisters.

Day 46---Saturday

B and I sold GS cookies outside an HEB grocery store. It wasn't cold---mid 50s to 60---but it was very windy. She made this sign with all the types of cookies on there.

Day 36---Wednesday

We picked up our cookies this evening---so if you want to buy some, let me know!! we have 25 cases this year----that's over $1000 worth of cookies in our living room! Kind of freaks me out.

Day 3---Friday

This is an order form for B's Girl Scout cookies. This is the first official day to sell cookies for this year. She sold 16 boxes by the time she got home from school. Go Girl!
