White Trash Cookies

This month we are having to say good-bye to one of our co-workers. He has decided to go back home to his roots and start a new career. We are very sad to see him leave, but completely understand.

I tried these cookies out a couple months ago to see what they would be like. I divided the completed batch into three. 1 bag for the house, 1 bag for my husband's office and 1 bag for my office. It had unanimous results across the board...all three bags were gone by the end of the day. Yes, they are that amazing!

A few days after I delivered the first batch to my office, I was having a conversation with another co-worker. She was sharing with me all the planning that was going into her daughter's upcoming Quinceanera later on this summer. I thought last year's high school graduation event was big...nothing compared to the months and months of preparation that goes into these. It's really quite remarkable all the details that go into the planning.

As she was telling me about the various dessert tables, before I knew it I had just volunteered to make 1,000 of these cookies for her guests table favors. Yes, you read that correctly and it was not a typo...1,000 cookies.

I think I'm going to need to brush up on my math skills to figure out how much of everything to buy!
