One autumn day, KTBug and I took a trip to the Boise Towne Square Mall. She was two years old. While strolling through the mall my little KTBug spied a display case full of brightly decorated cookies! My little girl was filled with so much excitement as she shrieked and clapped her little hands, running towards the Great American Cookie consessionaire! I couldn't resist, I order KT her very own cookie cake.
KT chose the Elmo cake design. Tickle Me Elmo was popular at the time and she was determined to have an Elmo Cookie Cake!
I love reminiscing of the fun times spent with my children! My KTBug was the happiest girl alive when she proudly toted the carefully packed parcel through the mall corridors! She was red and blue from head to toe that evening!

Chef's Rant:
These Cookie Cakes are so easy to make! The PTSA hosted a luncheon at school on Friday. I signed up to bring Brownies/or Cookies. My days are so busy with running the kids around to their Sports & Clubs, I didn't think I would have time to bake anything. While at the grocery I found Cookie Cakes on display. I nearly purchased two, but stopped myself short of buying them when I noticed it would cost me $12 for each cookie cake. They were small Cookie Cakes. (Sam's Club sells huge ones for only $14.99! Excellent price, but I had no time to run to Norman that day).
That's when I decided to attempt to make the Cookie Cakes on my own. The Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie Mixes were on sale for 2/$3.00. I figured it was worth a shot, and if I failed, I had a box of brownie mix to fall back on. Ha!
To my surprise, the Cookie Cakes turned out perfect and they were a hit at the Luncheon!
