Nice.

Bberg's are stocked on bathroom soaps now!

Colgate

My deal from Target. I bought six of these Colgate toothpaste with bonus trial size attached. Originally the six would have cost $17.88. I got them for $3.63 or $0.60 a piece. They were marked down to $1.48, and I had three $1 coupons and three $0.75 coupons. John is jazzed about non-generic toothpaste.

OMG. It gets BETTER. Inside the Colgate box, there were MORE coupons. $10 worth for Colgate-Palmolive brand items. THINGS YOU WOULD BUY ANYWAY! (dish soap, deodorant, toothpaste, soap.....)

Bourbon Currant Cookie

I made these up this afternoon. It called for 1/3 cup of bourbon, but any whiskey could be used. I had Southern Comfort (my poison of choice) and Jack Daniels. I went with the Jack. The dough was slightly sticky, so I added about 2 more tablespoons than what was called for. Also, I did not have 2 inch card symbol cookie cutters, so I used car shaped ones again. I am getting sick of these roll out cookies. I have a marble rolling pin, and I think a wood one would work better for these types of dough. Decent tasting cookie, nothing too special. Check out the recipe on her site.

Science Diet

I am trying this new coupon thing. Using couponmom.com. This is a good find I just got today. At Fleet Farm. Normal price $25. Had a $3 off coupon, and there was a sale you get $10 gift card with purchase. So end price of $12. I bought two bags, for a total of $24.

Biscuit Sandwich Cookie

The dough for this cookie was way too sticky to roll out. So I rolled it into equal sized balls and squished it down flat on a Silpat. The cookie was pretty tasty, the recipe didn't make very much. And did not need nearly as much chocolate as what was called. We used the left over to make chocolate covered strawberries. This one is on her site, http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/biscuit-sandwich-cookies?autonomy_kw=biscuit%20sandwich&rsc=header_2

Biscochitos

These were pretty good tasting, but kind of a pain. The dough turned out way too crumbly, I think it may have needed more water than the 2 tablespoons. It also required anise seeds, which aren't available in Winona. So I substituted anise extract. The extract gave it a nice bitey flavor. Matched well with the orange zest and orange liquor. Side note, I have been sending the cookies to work with John, and his co-worker Will has been a part of our cookie journey. He found my hair in it today. Sigh. I have been so careful about that - I do an extra kitchen scrub before making things I share with others. I guess it was bound to happen. This one is not on her web-site. Sorry dudes.

Oh, also, it said to use a 4 inch "fleur de lis" cookie cutter. Surprisingly, I do not have that one in that size. So, I used a car shaped one.

Cupcakes?

I think we'll stick with the cookies.....for now!
