I love giving away some of my baked treats to people, otherwise we end up eating them WAY too fast! I found this cute little printable tag over at This website and added it to a package of cookies that I had stacked a dozen of in a treat bag.
I just added a red ribbon bow and had a cute little gift!
Can’t wait to try the 1/2 shortening and 1/2 butter tip! Just thought I’d let you know that the / didn’t show up for work in the 1/2 cup shortening – naturally only a simpleton wouldn’t know it meant 1/2 and not 12 cups, but as a busy as a bee blogger who has had this sort of thin happen to her more than once – I thought I’d just let you know.
I’m always VERY thankful when people point out when a letter pulls a “no show” or when an extra one shows up, uninvited!
Your website is beautiful, your pictures are gorgeous, and your recipes are out of this world. You obviously put A LOT of work into all of this and it shows. I’ve been pinning your recipes left and right!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate it! 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend!
I am so glad you came to my blog so I could come over to yours and find all the great stuff here! I pinned these cookies on my board and on my business page (I own a vanilla company – love great recipes!) Thanks for the FB like as well, off to follow you too! 🙂
Just got hungry! These look so yummy and I love your tips! Thanks so much for sharing at Mom On Timeout!
I love baked goods as treats! I have to give my treats away so I don't eat them too. 🙂
