{cookie extravaganza - part 1}

Last night Karl took Addison to the Condors game and I got some (much needed) Mommy time! =o) I started Cookie Extravaganza early. I went small though...only 1 batch of cookies.

I was on the Betty Crocker website earlier this week gathering some new recipes to try and this one screamed fat kid! It was really easy to make and they are divine!
