It is extremely rare that I share a recipe that I didn't actually get to eat. This time though I am sharing a recipe for these fabulous looking cookies and I didn't get to take them.
I always set aside one of everything that is brought for the Cafe Treats that I can eat later so I can actually enjoy every bite. I did that Sunday before I went to Sunday school. I have to admit I just placed them on a plate, but I have done that before. They were still there when I came back to check on everything after class and had to leave the Cafe so I could help with hospitality. When the 11 o'clock service was over and I went to clean up, the White Chip Chocolate Cookie that I had saved to enjoy later was missing from the plate. I couldn't believe someone would do that. I guess it just looked too inviting for them to pass up.
You have to admit, they do look pretty awesome and I am sure they tasted awesome because they were all eaten. Maybe Cafe Treats Baker Kathy will make them again.

It’s nice all the helpers get to take one of each item and save it for themselves. Maybe though a ziplock bag would be better and it being done before people arrive. Or maybe the helpers could agree to split the cookies and each only take half as it seems like little is ever left over.
ReplyDeleteI'm usually the only helper and I usually put one of each in a plastic container. I just didn't this time. If it is a repeat treat, they have brought them before, I don't take one. I mainly take it so I can tell everyone how good it tastes then and then when I write up the recipe for here. It was definitely a learning experience. Patricia
