Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.

Words to Eat By
"Though never a very good dieter, she'd found a rule of thumb that kept her from blimping out as her metabolism aged - eat what you want, but not all of it. So if she wanted cheesecake, she made cheesecake, had a slice, and took the rest to a friend or someone in her church who needed a pick-me-up."

ReplyDeleteThe cookies sound good, love the cute envelopes-fun gift:@)
ReplyDeleteI used to always celebrate May day by leaving flowers on friends' doors. Haven't done that since retiring, so just might need to pick up some of these to share some coolies. What a sweet idea! ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteThese are SO CUTE and the cookies are SO YUMMY! I think those little envelopes could be used for LOTS of thingys! There are so MANY clever things out there... Those also look like "Something MAYBE we can make???". I LOVE the color you got, it's perfect! BUT I know YOU'D LOVE purple envelopes with the EXACT same print, WITH your chocolate cookies. AHHH, "Purple Chocolate Home" specials!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go CHECK THOSE OUT! Thank you Jackie,
Have a fun week,
Big Hugs,

The cookie envelope is adorable. It makes a little gift special - just like when my neighbor wrapped her homemade bread in a kitchen towel and tied it with a pretty ribbon. You asked about May Day. When I was a child, we filled little homemade May baskets with candy, popcorn, and violets. We placed it on the doorstep, rung the doorbell, and ran. If caught, you would get kissed! It was fun at the time!
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you and your family!

That is such a cute cookie basket. Thanks for the recipe, it sounds interesting.
ReplyDeletePretty cookie envelopes and the cookies look great! I'd love to give them a try.
ReplyDeleteCookie envelopes? Why on earth didn't I think of that? So lovely, J. Come see my new website, it's finally up. xx's
ReplyDeleteThose cookie envelopes are so clever and do elevate the cookie to a very special gift. When we were little we gathered wildflowers and put them in glass jars or just tied them with ribbon, put them on a door or doorknob, and RAN! I think of it every May Day. Linda
ReplyDeleteIt's been awhile since I've pulled out my Cricut Expression, but I think that one of my cartridges has that template. If not, I'm on my way to JoAnn's. Great idea for party favors! Thanks for the recipe, too. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, Jacqueline. These little cookie presents would be wonderful treat for my mother's friends. She lives in an assisted living community and a little sweet is always so welcomed by them. I always know I will find something special when I come to visit. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, i had totally forgotten about May Day! We used to make paper cones as well and put flowers (weeds) inthem for the neighbor ladies! But this little package would be so much more fun! anne
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty cookie envelopes! I will check them out at Jo Ann's the next time I go. The cookies look beautiful and sound delicious!!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at "triple chocolate" and THEN you tied in a pretty package!! I love those little cookie envelopes~ I'll be on the look out for them! Thanks for the recipe, I love the idea of a candy bite inside the cookie dough :)
