This post is a little late and was actually started a week before my Kansas City trip took place.

Sometimes, things pass in your life and you never realized you needed it until it appeared.

I forgot to remember this one minute recipe I apparently shared last year on same date.  Thankfully, Facebook has our backs, right?

“High five for good taste, old self!”

A sugar cookie folded over like a taco and filled with ice cream.  The video made them look so easy and delicious.  It was labeled a “junior” recipe and there were little bitty hands forming the dough!  They’re that easy!  All you do is make your cookie dough, refrigerate for an hour or overnight, bake your cookies, and while still warm you place them on a rolling pin so they conform to it and make a “shell” shape.

A part of me was disappointed because they appeared “too easy”.

Flash forward through the work week and my coworker asked (like he does every Friday)
“Ok, whatcha bakin’ this weekend?”
“Cookie tacos!”
“How do you not weigh 500 pounds??”
“……….because I don’t actually eat everything.  I bake it to take a picture and then have to get it out of the house.”
“(Nervous laughter)….???????????…..”
“You have to be passionate about SOMETHING 🙂 ”

The weekend arrived and the baking began!

I looked up a recipe and in the back of my mind knew something was amiss.  Maybe it was me.  But, I carried on.

Sure enough the dough was too dry.  I carried on.

They all broke.

I was tempted to throw away the remaining dough, but then remembered the muffin tin.  Instead of tacos I could try cookie cups.  It can’t be any worse.

Success!

“This was too easy”, she said.

“HUMBLE YOURSELVES IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD, AND HE SHALL LIFT YOU UP.”

Humble lessons were the broken tacos.
Grace was the successful cookie cups.

Lessons. 🙂
