I told you I was headed back into the kitchen. Steve was great and tried to help me decorate the cupcakes. He wasn't sure what to do, but he tried hard. Some of the ghostly eyes ended up a little too far apart. These have a wonderful surprise in the middle--ice cream! There were a couple of "factory rejects" and they were tasty!
Maybe I should explain "factory rejects." Grandpa M. was the baker in our family. He would make
the most incredible bread of all kinds and cookies galore. C
hristmas brought out the greatest cookies: raisin stuffed, jelly filled, german chocolate tarts, and the usual suspects: peanut butter chocolate chip, brownie bites, almond sugar, and many more. We (the grandkids) loved to go help, even the cookie batter was awesome. Grandpa used to call the not so pretty cookies from his batches the "factory rejects;" those were free to the grandkids to "taste." Seems like there were quite a few factory rejects when the grandkids were helping.
