Easter Cookie Bag Treats!

Our niece, Amy, is spending the day with us today. We are having tonage of funage.

Amy & I made cookies this morning (recipe at end of post), followed by gift bags to put them in, and Amy also made a special card for her brother, Geoffrey. Geoffrey is profoundly retarded, legally blind, and loves things with texture, movement, noise, etc. So this card she made for him is perfect.

Here are the yummy cookies and gift bags...
