These little orange semi-circles were a big hit at the luncheon. Of course this is just the start of what they looked like.
Here's how they turned out. Little slices of oranges.
It's amazing what a little orange food coloring and orange flavored frosting and a bamboo skewer can do. I was really proud of these little bite-sized cookies. They were very good and very easy to make.
This next little one is a cookie I came up with a few years ago for the luncheon. It's a mint chocolate cookie. Tastes like a thin mint, without all the chocolate or Girl Scout packaging.
Here's the lonely little green mint cookie. Setting there all alone. No one to play with, not a single other cookie in sight.
But add a little chocolate ganache to our little green cookie friend and see what we come up with.
Lots of green mint chocolate cookies.
Lots and lots of green mint chocolate cookies. It's like an army of little imposter Girl Scouts lined up ready to be oohed and ahhed by little old ladies who want to have a tea party.
And I had to have at least one more type of cookie to take to the luncheon. My momma didn't raise any slackers when it came time to bake for any event. (Even Nancy has Mom make something when she needs a baked good.) These little things are Almond Snowdrops.
They maybe called Snowdrop cookies, but they look more like Snowballs. Kevin had a few right after they came out of the oven.
"These are great warm, can't you serve them straight from the oven?"
Yeah, Kevin and we will pass out the hot towels right after we serve these. I think he just wanted me to make more so he could eat this batch.
In the end I took 146 cookies that were taken to the luncheon. Of course some had to be taste tested before they were Junior League Luncheon ready, but Kevin and the kids are always ready to take one for the team.
