ESPRESSO CAKE MIX COOKIES

 

I first met Friend Dorene a few years before COVID when she started assisting my husband and me with preparing the table for communion at PWUMC. Then COVID hit and for a while we didn't have an in-person service. Even after we returned to in-person service communion was different. Go forward a number of years now and I started seeing Dorene at church helping with hospitality. It was so good working with her again. She has the prettiest smile.

Anyway, a couple of Sunday's ago she told me she would like to help with the Cafe Treats. I was so surprised and so pleased. Well, she signed up immediately for the next Sunday and has contributed each Sunday since.

These cookies were one of her first. They just don't look pretty, they taste good also. She got about 6 dozen cookies from the recipe. When she brought them to church, she had 3 dozen on a platter and another 3 dozen wrapped in foil to freeze for the next Sunday. What a Treat!!

We are so lucky to have Dorene part of our group.
