Here's the breakdown of MCBD:Debbie, Jeff, Mom, and anyone else who feels like getting up early, start mixing cookie dough at 6 A.M.
Continue mixing dough, baking cookies, mixing dough, baking cookies, making no-bakes, running to the store for more supplies, mixing dough, and baking cookies all day.
Lunch from Subway
Dinner is pizza
No eating dough
No eating cookies
Mix dough until midnight
Bake whatever is left
Final count when last cookie is cooled and counted. (Usually around 2:00am)
Bailey really surprised me at how good she was. In the car and all day. We planned ahead and had chips ahoy ready for hungry kids begging for cookies.
Such a cool shot my sister got of one of the most popular cookies we made.
This year we had a special visitor, COOKIE MONSTER!
Bailey wasn't sure about him at first...
She warmed up to him when I pointed out he was friends with Elmo.
This was the first year since Grandma passed away. We were determined to break the record in her honor. The sign says "Here's to you, Lois". We did beat the record, by nearly 400 cookies;
5,741 Cookies!
After the final count, and if you are still awake, you can eat as many cookies as your tummy can handle. Unfortunately, after smelling dough, some burnt cookie sacrifices and thousands of cooled cookie mixtures, the cravings have all subsided. Nonetheless, a satisfying reward for a hard days work.
