Baking and Crafting

This past week I have been working on making some of my family Valentine bags. I saw the bags on another blog, which I posted about in a few days ago. I made 4 of them. They turned out really cute. Well at least I think so. Gee hope that I don't break my arm patting myself on the back. LOL They take no time to make. I think from start to finish it was maybe 45 min. Those type of things are always good to do especially if you need something in a hurry.

At work we have a team for Relay for Life and today and tomorrow we are having a bake sale, one of many we will have before the Relay in June. I am not much of a baker. Never really have been so if I can make something that takes little time but looks like you took hours then I am all over it. So here is something that I have made in the past and has always been a hit. What does these two things have in common?

These, and boy are they good!

These take no time at all to make. Just use already prepared sugar cookie dough. I bought the big box at Gordons Food Supply, and you need Andes mint candy for how many cookies you are going to make. Just take each cookie and wrap around a piece of candy. Place on cookie sheet about 2 in apart. Bake at 325 for 10 min. They will look like they are not done. Thats ok, just let them sit on cookie sheet a few minutes to settle. They do make a flat cookie. But if you bake them a little longer the candy melts to much and they don't set up very well. I learned that the hard way. They really are just that easy and oh so good. I try to have some of these on hand so if I need to make some quick cookies for whatever I can make them.

I was having issues with loading the pictures today so please parden me for the way this post looks. I hope you have a wonderful day and be safe. Enjoy this nice weather for as long as it will last. I know I am.
