Summer Vacation

Sorry, CF is on hiatus until further notice! We hope you're having the sweetest of summers.

Birthday Cookies!

It's been a while since we've had a birthday Cookie Friday, but this week we had toffee nut chocolate chip bars in celebration of Miss Marylea.

Happy Birthday, MC!

Have a sweet weekend,
CF

Playing Catch-Up.

(I'm trying to update the blog. Here we go.)

Boys like bacon cookies.

Who am I kidding? Everyone did. Turkey bacon cookies, that is. With a chocolate drizzle.


+ The week before, Joanne stepped in to substitute bake some tasty brownie cookies!

She says they are not so "photogenic." However, they were delicious!

Sorry for the delayed postings. CF hopes to be back to a semi-normal routine real soon. See you tomorrow for a surprise cookie bar!

Guess Who's Bizzack.

Any Friday with cookies is a happy one. But a half-day CF with an office picnic and lots of beach time? WAY happier.

Check 'em out: Chocolate chocolate chip cookies with vanilla filling.

Peeps are impatient, so we hit up the cookies early morning, pre-picnic.

"Rahahaha," says Wessie.

I think they liked them.

The three cube-mates unite.

Welcome the NKOBlog, Steve and Dennis.

+ As always, CF is a team effort. Thanks to my sous coookie chef, my frosting specialist and my photographer.

Have a sweet weekend.

Big Stomachs, Bigger Hearts!

Today was THE day for CF's Great American Bake Sale.



We served up chocolate chip cookie sandwiches with your choice of chocolate or vanilla frosting.

YUM.

The sale went swimmingly! At $2 a pop, we sold out of nearly 50 sandwiches in about an hour and a half.




Those babies went fast!


AND WE RAISED A TOTAL OF ...

$200 ! ! !

It never ceases to amaze me how generous the people of PBC--especially the Friends of Cookie Friday--can be! Thank you to everyone!

Check out the totals here. And if you haven't already, become a FAN of CF on Facebook.

Have a sweet weekend.
Plenty LOVE, XOXO, CF

Dude, where's your face?

It was a certain someone's birthday this week. Someone who, judging by these self-portraits, prefers to remain blognonymous. CF obliges. In any case, while there was no official Cookie Friday this week (in preparation for next week's bake sale), "he" and few privileged office mates enjoyed sweet and salty peanut butter chocolate chip cookies with lots of sea salt.

I think he liked them.

Reminder: Next Friday is THE Cookie Friday to see and be seen. And eat, too. Get familiar here. Happy birthday, you.

See you then!

Pie Friday?

Looks like it!

Today, for the sake of mixing it up, we offered up CF's first attempt at pecan pie (or any pie for that matter).


It was interesting. But I think it went over pretty well...even if some "people" had to be force-fed.

I have no idea what happened below. We get a little cah-razy in the early morn.

What can I say, often times, a theme just pops up. Ole!

Thanks to Wes for humoring me.

Make your weekend sweet!
Love, JD of the CF

Whoopie!

Today is Joanne's birthday! Following a successful shuffle last weekend, we topped off the week of celebration with lots of bite-size (and one special giant) chocolate peanut butter whoopie pies--which were inspired by this recent article from the New York Times.

XS and XXL.

Is it really a pie? So delightful and fluffy, whoopie pies are really a clever combination of cake, cookie and buttercream frosting.

Happy 21st, kid!

Have a relaxing weekend.

Love, CF

Sugar & Spice

Today we mixed sugar and spice with a whole lotta fun. Below, some snickerdoodle bars with a little vanilla glaze.

I promise, it wasn't frosted corn bread.

Now, just because we eat lots of cookies doesn't mean we don't practice work site wellness! In between bites, we took some time to stretch. It. Out.

We hope you put some woohoo in your weekend.

Share YOUR strength!

I just registered for Share Our Strength's "Great American Bake Sale" to end childhood hunger. Amateur bakers like me are signing up all over America to hold their own bake sales to raise money for the kids in our own communities.

Cookie Friday is here to represent. The bake sale will go down in the next few weeks, so stay tuned for details. In the meantime, you can start donating if you'd like.

CHECK OUT MY BAKE SALE SITE HERE.


I'll keep you updated. Thanks in advance!
XOXO Love, CF

People Pleasers

This week CF had a special request, not from one person, but FOUR. So what's all the fuss about?

Green tea cupcakes with green tea glaze. And they're not even cookies!

The cakes were in honor of Melissa's last day.

About-to-be-a-Mama Jen's last day.

Another Mama--Kristen!

And, um, Jayson, who simply requested his own special batch and proceeded to eat each and every one before the day even ended.

I think it's safe to say that the delicate little cakes were enjoyed up by all, preggers or not!

Happy Birthday, Traci!

Can't wait to meet those little babes!

+ Special thanks the Baking Dabbler for his Friday contribution: GF mini chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches.

I ate WAY more than my fair share.

Thanks for making Friday so fun!

Love,
CF
