It’s been a LONG evening, and my thoughts are feeling a little scattered, but since I have butter cookies on the brain…
Last summer, when I was in my first trimester and was looking for snacks to bring to a family reunion, I picked up a small tin of Danish butter cookies at Wal-Mart. I honestly can’t remember what brand they were, but they came in that round blue tin; I figured I was getting the real deal.
Not on your life. You know how the best part of those butter cookies is the big sugar sprinkles on top of three of the five varieties? The cheap Wal-Mart ones had little sugar crystals (and weren’t as buttery, either).
It was tragic.
Which is why, of course, when I saw the gigantic tins at Costco over Christmas, I couldn’t help getting myself one. They were the real thing, and after wanting and not getting them back in July, I couldn’t resist. Of COURSE…
My passion for butter cookies is fairly well known. Which is why, on Christmas morning, my hubby presented me with an identical Costco tin of them. The real thing. They’re tasty. And worth it.
And, on this, the 12th of April, almost gone.
