I stayed up late last night to make carrot cake cookies.......It was the first time I had made them. This morning I frosted them with cream cheese frosting. I wasn't sure they would turn out, but they were very well received! The problem with them is that there were only 50 of them, and we had nearly 40 people at the center.
Another problem is that they are really very labor intensive, compared to just making a carrot cake, but they were good enough and popular enough that I will make them again....only I will double the recipe. The recipe actually made 100 cookies, but I frosted the bottom of one and topped it with another....voila!....sandwich cookies

The English class went well....with everyone contributing to the discussion. There are so many topics that it is difficult to narrow down, but we got through most everything I had prepared and still had plenty of time for everyone to share.
With all of the wonderful young people there tonight, I had time to talk to several to catch up on what they are doing. It is lovely to find out what is happening in their lives and to hear their thoughts on life and the pursuit of happiness. They are all probably about as busy as is possible, yet they are able to make it all work.
It makes me so happy when they make time to join everyone at the center.
Happy enough to make those carrot cake cookies again.
So - Actually - They were getting 2 cookies (for the price of one). Sure glad they enjoyed them. You are SO good to them in always trying to please.
ReplyDeleteThey always sound like such wonderful young people- who will be an asset to the church as they continue on in their lives. L&P
You are right! So they are more filling than one oatmeal cookie or an oreo. They really are good young people and I see several of them being groomed for leadership positions sometime in the future. The Church is and will be in good hands here in Denmark. L&P
