How to make *”Smokey Barf” Halloween Cookies…

1. Start with 4 grandson brothers, ages 4, 5, 7 & 8.

2. Wave bye-bye to Mommy and Daddy as they head out to afternoon appointments.  Time: 1:15 pm.

3. Get talked into breaking into a brand new U-Build Lego Battleship Board Game, reading all the directions, building the various ships, setting up the game and choosing teams; all of which turned into a great hit with all 4 boys and brought back shiploads of memories to this Grandma…

4. Smell something burning.

5. Run to oven.

6. Discover a sheetload (love this baking word that I just made up) of what look like chocolate cookies.

7. Hand each boy a towel to wave away smoke.

8. Remove chocolate cookies from oven; cool cookies.

9. Allow begging brothers to taste cookies; document reactions for returning parents…

 

10. Serve cookies to Larry, the family Halloween skeleton…

11. Name the cookies – SMOKEY BARF & BABY BARF.  Yum.

12. Laugh uproariously.

13. Resume Battleship game.

14. Get text from Mommy at 3:18 pm…

15. Respond to text…

16. Finish Battleship game.  High 5 all around.

17. Greet Mommy upon her return; beg her to bake new cookies.

18. She will.

19. Discover that the cookies were not chocolate;  they were SUGAR COOKIES turned SMOKEY BARF!

20. Check how Larry reacts to SUGAR COOKIES…

*21.  OR… just burn a sheetload of SUGAR COOKIES.  But that’s just not as much fun!
