More cookies!

Remember those spring cupcakes I posted earlier this week? Well, we made those for younglife leadership night. At this particular meeting, we met a new awesome young life leader. Well, she saw the cupcakes we made and asked if we'd like to bake something for a bake sale that was going to raise money for a young mom with breast cancer. Of COURSE we said YES! [I should stop for a moment and say how awesome and courageous it was to ask us when she had just met us!]. What a great reason to bake!

My friend, L, made salted caramel chocolate chip cookie bars. They were pretty darn good. The recipe is on my pinterest board, sweets, if you are interested.

I made cookies (like that was a surprise to anyone). I got cancer ribbon cookie cutter and did a bunch of ribbon cookies and then also did some fun summery sunglasses, sandals, and margarita glasses (all new cookie cutters given to me! so fun to put them to use!). I found myself thinking of a few women I had known of who have struggled with breast cancer as I was making them.
