I hope y'all have stayed dry in this dreary weather we have been experiencing in Houston. I find that when the weather is gloomy so is my mood. The best way to battle against a gloomy mood, in my opinion, is helping others.
I had the wonderful opportunity this week to use my cookie skills to help out my co-worker and dear friend Audrey Blank. In addition to being the learning specialist at my school, she is the national spokesperson for the national MS society. She not only hosts the MS150, but also has her own team called "Team Audrey's Heros". She is basically a rock star!
She wanted to show her cyclists and volunteers appreciation, so I baked 6 dozen cookies to be placed in each goody bag. I used my signature vanilla almond recipe, and used an awareness ribbon cookie cutter for the shape. Orange is the color for the National MS society, so that was fitting for these delicious treats!
Stay Sweet!
