Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
For 5 years I hosted a cookie party for family and friends that had an impact in our lives over the course of that year. What started off with me baking 15 types of cookies and about 40 people, grew to my baking of 52 types of cookies and over 200 people! We weren’t able to host the party this last year due to an emergency with my parents health and this year, with the sudden addition of our 2 yr old god-daughter now living with us for the time being, it may be put on hold again. However, I’m still developing flavors and new cookies for when we start back up with this party!

The party has not only 52 types of cookies, but also 11 different types of desserts along with it. My MOST requested dessert by far is my Croissant Bread Pudding! I discovered using croissants in bread pudding while working as a catering manager for Cameron Mitchell Restaurants 30 years ago. My bread pudding recipe has the added brown Sugar Buttermilk Syrup is kicker that puts it over the top! I’ve been trying to make a cookie that represents the flavors of that dessert, and this one is the closest I’ve come.
