I was over at Life As Mom and saw where she was sharing how she froze her cookies to create platefuls of various kinds of cookies within minutes as needed throughout the holidays.
No wonder she was just signed on to do a freezer cooking cookbook 😉
Brilliant.
Cookies and freezer cooking?!? This FREEZE-O-RAMA mama is totally game.
I have meetings with clients, get-togethers with friends and family gatherings coming up. How cool would it be to have a plate full of DIFFERENT kinds of cookies to bring in some holiday cheer?

Cake mix cookies have a special place in my heart.
Ya see, Puddie made me a batch of cake mix cookies the night that we decided we were gonna be an item.

Goode Grief! The thumbnail picture of your cookies on Facebook scared the bahuzous out of me. I thought they were monster cookies! Upon closer inspection, I see (DRAT!) that they look extremely yummy. Hope your kitchen floor repairs start making progress. Have a great weekend!

I lvoe the color of those cookies. They'd break up a plate of the usual golden-brown cookies on a plate.
