Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
When the kids (Karen and Jeff) were in school, esp. I would make up a batch on Sunday night (I mix them up...put in refrigerator over night and then Otto would bake a batch in the morning ...our joint project.) He put a few in the kids lunches and froze the rest in individual sandwich bags for the rest of the week. Karen tells me that she had to hide them on her lap at lunchtime because there was always someone who wanted them.
The cookies were always a big part of "care packages" that I sent while they were in college...and now, the grandkids like to help make them....when we're together.
They're usually a big hit at church for coffee hour too.
