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

A cookie slideshow!

Today's cookie: chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake bars. Quite a mouthful to say and eat. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Have a yummy weekend!

Camp Cookie.

Gather 'round the campfire. It's triple chocolate cookie time!

Woohoo.

Today was also a Cookie Friday of firsts and lasts:

Nicole's first CF.

And Cyd's last CF.

I have no idea how we're going to have CF without you, Cyd! I'll miss you running full-speed down the hall for cookies more than you know.

I wish you good luck and good cookies. There are home cookie deliveries in your future!

Have a tasty weekend all,
CF

Surprise! Cookie Wednesday

You sneaky, sneaky cookie eaters. Thank you for the thank you! Especially Mike and Delo, McG, and the bakers--Joanne, Ephy and Lora! Viva la Cookie Friday.

A divine combo: PB cookies and chocolate mousse.
(I couldn't eat the butterscotch cookies, but I heard they were delightful!)

I love you lovely people. More cookies to come this Friday.

See you then,
JD of the CF

Delographer Cookie Wednesday

My how the tables have turned!


This week we got to baking early in honor of the Delographer's birthday! CF said happy bday the baker's way with Delo's favorite banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

From now on, the cookies will be known simply as The Delo Special.

Happy 21st! We hope you eat lots of cookies this year!

See you all next Friday,

CF

Cookie Thursday?

Yes, you read that right. Cookies came a day early this week to make sure that everyone could enjoy them, including one of CF's biggest supporters, and just in case we couldn't make it the office because of the wind (what a sham).


The usual suspects feasted on toffee bits cookies, sandwiched and drizzled with a touch of dark chocolate.

Thanks to Wes for his excellent hand modeling skills.

Roji got her own extra large cookies on account of her dentist appointment today. No cookies for her this weekend.

Good luck, Roj!

Have a breezy weekend everyone. See you back here next week.
xoxo, CF

The comeback cookie.

What up, cookie fans? CF was in the house today for the first Cookie Friday of 2009. I figured I'd kick it off with the classic of all classics: chocolate chip cookies.

We can all thank the ingenious Ruth Wakefield for so brilliantly inventing this American classic.

And, now, a little shout out to this little man (and future cookie lover, no doubt): Drew Isobe.

When he starts eating sugar, CF will be here for him.

Happy weekend!
Love, CF
