Thank you all who helped with my Cookie Tray for work!!!

[woody]

It turned out I'm not such a bad baker after all, lol! Everyone loved the cookies. I ended up making:

Both Nut & Cherry Ting a Lings (Stupidly Simple)

Slice and Bake cookies from Cheezz. Made butterscotch and glad I made 2 recipes because they were VERY popular.

Toffee Squares from AngAk, these were excellent and fun to make.

Puff Cookies similar to Mexican Wedding Cookies

I also cheated and bought 2 boxes of cookies from Walmart because we ran out of home made today!

Thanks again I can always count on the good people here.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!

woody - you use rice krispies in place of the chow mein noodles?
