One of the charities my company supports is St. Jude's Children's Hospital. Tomorrow they are having a "holiday helper" event, which entails wrapping donated gifts to bring to the children who have to spend the holidays at the hospital and a bake sale to raise money. So, of course I volunteered to bake cookies (I obviously made a double batch so I could keep a few dozen for my cookie gift boxes that will be going out next week - more to come on that!).
I received my new
Gourmet Cookie Book in the mail on Tuesday, so I was pretty excited to try out a recipe. I decided to bake
Trios, because they seemed like a real crowd pleaser and are very festive looking.
Just a word of caution about these cookies - they are not hard, but they take a LONG time. I'm talking 3 hours (and I didn't even finish them all - I have half the dough left in my refrigerator to finish tomorrow...although on that note, you can make this dough 2 days ahead of time. So my suggestion would be to make the dough one night and make the cookies another!).
I tasted one that got a little burnt (CHEF'S TREAT!) and it was yummy! What is your favorite bake sale treat?
