I have been baking cookies today for the troops. I need to get everything finished so that I can package it and take it to the Post Office on Monday.
I just finished my Oatmeal Scotchie bar cookies, and had them on a plate after they cooled. Unfortunately, my hubbie went outside to smoke a cigar, and the next thing I hear is OH NO. I thought he took Zach (our new TALL beagle) out and he got off the leash. But No, Zach had pulled the plate of cookies down and was sharing them with the other two dogs. They had eaten half of the cookies! Thank heavens they were not chocolate, but I can assure you that the three of them are on a sugar high righ now. I have to throw the rest of the cookies out, who knows how much slobber was dripped on them.
Oh, Well. I am bummed out for tonight and will finish my cookies tomorrow. Now I know just how far that darn dog can reach on the counter!
