Someone Had to Taste Them

Made cookies to send to my mom who is struggling from a number of age-related things. Very hard to be quite far away at any time, but especially currently. She was an incredible baker and used to send by brothers and me care packages, starting in college but continuing even when we were well into our 60s and she in her early 90s. Now it is at least something I can do for her from a distance.

I am sure she will love them and the love that comes in every taste. Hard to be apart from struggling family right now. Lots of love to you and yours.

That is a lovely gift to send, especially as it was one way she sent you love and thoughts in your young 60s (and earlier). They will be well-appreciated, I am sure. xoxo

[Lou Ann]

This will mean so much to her. I’m so sorry you can’t be with her.

[carol white]

Very tasty 😋

[haskar]

They look delicious

[Taffy]

@jgpittenger I ate more than I should have but mailed off all that would fit in a medium size click-n-ship container! So most went off that way...I was going to give the rest to our door staff, but uh-oh...put them in a cookie jar instead.

[Jane Pittenger]

@taffy lol. That s why i rarely bake them

[Junko Y]

I'm sorry your mom is struggling, and you're right, it's a hard time to be so far away. Maybe after your vaccines you can go out for a visit. The cookies look delicious and tempts me to start baking at this late hour. I'm curious -- did you use your photoshop skills to put that cookie with the bite out of it in its position?
