We have many opportunities to work overtime on Saturdays at my job. This year I started working the occasional Saturday (between season tickets to
The 5th Avenue Theatre and to the
Seattle Mariners, I need the extra cash for meals). I've noticed on Mondays that food is usually brought in on Saturdays (start time is 7 a.m. after all) so I decided to do that too. For a late June Saturday overtime, I figured patriotic cookies for the upcoming 4th of July holiday would be perfect. I searched my
Patriotic/4th of July Pinterest board and found a recipe similar to what I made
two years ago. I even bought the ingredients the week before so I didn't have to rush to the store after work on Friday then rush home.
And then Saturday overtime was cancelled.
So after spending a few days trying to figure out what to do with the ingredients (specifically the pudding mix - I'm not really a pudding eater), I decided to still make the cookies. Like two years ago, we had a work day between the 4th and the weekend. Cookies seemed like the perfect thing to make up for it (again). The recipe is from
Crazy for Crust.
