I promise.
Thanks Tiffany for guest blogging for me today. I’m eternally grateful. ~Robin oxoxo
This is an extra special post. I am guest posting for Robin, over at Knead To Cook today and these babies are what I shared with her readers. If you get a chance head on over and say hi to Robin. Sheβs awesome and just as sweet as pie!
We are now at day three and still holdinβ strong with our cookie extravaganza this week on MCK. This cookie screams fall with itβs mapley, (is that a word?! It is today! ) flavor, bits of pecans, drizzled with chocolate and topped with more nuts. It has a super soft texture and absolutely delicious if you like maple, nuts and chocolate.
Iβm sending out cookie packages this week to family and close friends. I canβt stand it any longer. Donβt get me wrong, theyβre delicious if I may say, but Iβve had cookies for breakfast, cookies for lunch and cookies for dessert. Iβm trying to be good, but I canβt seem to with all these cookies in my face. I started freezing them to get them away from me. I figured Iβd spread the love elsewhere instead of spreading it to parts of my body that donβt need any more luuuv. Have a funtastic day!
