I love sharing stories about my life because it allows you to get to know me just a little better. Yesterday was the first day of October. I thought I would share a Holiday that is celebrated by everyone we know on October 2 National Homemade Cookies Day #HomemadeCookieDay.
When I was younger I used to work at our local grocery store Minyards as a cashier but I also would fill in the Bakery/Deli when they needed help. One day my parents went to purchase dinner at Minyards. My Cousin Jeffery was with them.
Jeffery when to the Bakery and purchased Ranger Cookies for himself. Even though I worked in the Bakery I hadn’t heard of Ranger Cookies so I had never tried them. Jeffery gave my sister and I one and we both loved the Cookies so much.
With today being National Homemade Cookies Day and Charlie’s friends Bradley and Tim here today I thought we might make Ranger Cookies for this evenings dessert. Would you like to join us in making Cookies and we can make your favorite Cookies as well to take home to your family?
