It's been well established on this blog that I have a bit of a problem with sweets. Yes, I have a sense of entitlement when it comes to eating treats. And sure, I had a bit of a panic attack when I read a recent article in People magazine about Kathy Ireland's 25 pound weight gain, and realized that her former "sweet tooth habit" sounded an awful lot like my own.
I have mentioned on more than one occasion that I really need to take the time to examine this problem, get to the root of it, and rid my life of this plague.
But not now. Now is cookie time.
Every school year, many fundraisers cross my path. Being a cheapskate, I ignore most. But not the cookie dough fundraiser. I look forward to it every year. March is when the orders come home. April is when the cookie dough arrives.
Peanut butter cup. Snickerdoodle. Chocolate chunk. Triple chocolate.
There is something so magical about just pulling out a tub of dough and putting spoonfuls of it on a pan. Ten minutes later, you have warm and gooey cookies.
Of course, with mini eggs, Starburst jelly beans, and my new favorite Reese's Pieces eggs hidden in the pantry, plus Easter egg hunts this weekend, we're really not hurting for treats at this particular moment.
No matter. Cookie dough stays good in the fridge for six months. Six whole months.
Hooray for cookie time.

Okay I finally had time to catch up on your blog. Happy b-day H! That picture of A2 was the best ever. What a doll. Cookies sound so good right now, but maybe I should go eat breakfast instead! I can't believe the twins are big enough to be standing. What is next?
I love cookie time. Probally not as much as K1,but close. I made a batch the other day and they were gone in about 5 minutes. good luck kicking te habit.
Hopefully yours is better than ours. We got some tubs of cookie dough except it was pre-scooped cookie dough which meant when made all the cookies in the whole tub you had about what you would have made in normal recipe of cookies....except each tub cost 15$! Yours look way better than ours anyway! Enjoy!!
Now you're speaking my langauge! Heather
I am very envious of these 'tubs of cookie dough'. I have seen them at other schools, but alas our school does not do that fundraiser. What a shame - that sounds like one I would actually participate in too! :)
