Cookie Dessert at Spring Recognition Luncheon

Cookie molds come in so many shapes but this one closely resembles our Old Ned logo. Great job and delicious. These came from Barb's Bakery in Phoenix. You can try them on your own with unique cookie cutters.

Thanks to Janie Burke for her creativity with this cookie cutter.
