And the winner is...

award-ribbon-blue-1st

Now I’ve been taking a bit of ribbing for my cooking debacles. Which is totally fine really because, well, as we’ve determined, cooking is just not my strong suit.

But I do want you all to know that in one of the most celebrated, victorious moments of my life, I won a cooking contest. That is not a typo….you read it correctly….I WON a cooking contest. First place in the Sunday School cookie competition. Yep, right there in the middle of the Fellowship Hall I was bestowed that very high honor.

And people, I celebrated like I had just won America’s Top Chef. I did a little victory dance, pumped my fist in the air, yelled whoo hoo and ate another cookie or five. (I also called the Hilltop Honeys….I mean this was the big time).

So, I just didn’t want you to think it was all bad, all the time. Because there was that one day.

I’m including the recipe here for you to try. They are called Snickers on a Stick. Although you don’t have to put them on a stick, it sure makes for fun eating. And besides, saying “snickers on a stick” is a whole lot more fun, in my opinion, than saying “Snicker Cookies”, but you can be the judge on that.

So here you go….(drum roll please)

I recognize these cookies, as they were probably responsible for my Freshman 15 at Baylor! Do you happen to remember some little restaurant in the Ivy Square shopping center right off campus? I wanna say it was Chinese food, but why would they sell these cookies so maybe it was next door to the Chinese place. Anyway, remember how on Sunday nights the cafeterias were closed so we had to fend for ourselves? I vividly recall many Sunday nights having Chinese food and Snickerdoodles on a stick wrapped around a Snickers bar. Aaaaah, they were yummy! But I’m not trying your recipe, I’ve lost those 15 and don’t want them back!
