Baking Through A Heat Wave!

I am lucky enough to not have lost power during the last heatwave a little over a week ago. I know a lot of people in the surrounding states did lose power for almost a week. My heart goes out to all of them.

With the air conditioner blasting, I baked a lot of cookies this week. Here are a few the VERY different orders I had to complete this week

KISS cookies for the ultimate fan! 

Real Estate Thank You cookies for a great Agent 

Cookie Monster and Elmo!

I love how many different cookies I had to make this week. What a blast!
