Yes, These Are Cookies
Will such cleverness never cease? Somebody figured out how to make cookies that look like pink fuzzy bedroom slippers! It’s crazy! Hungry Happenings has the step-by-step recipe, with lots of helpful photos, at This Link! Wouldn’t it be cool to make these for a Baby Shower or Slumber Party? I think so.
February 22nd is National Margarita Day, in case no one hipped you to that fact. Also, did you have any idea that the Margarita is the Number 1 cocktail drink in the US? I sure didn’t, as I am a Martini gal, myself. Still, I am not adverse to the occasional frozen fruit margarita (peach or mango being my favorite varieties) when the occasion presents itself. The recipe below might be a fun one to try out while relaxing at home this evening, and you don’t even need a blender! Ole!
