A friend of mine (Troy's cousin's wife :) ) and I got together on Friday to bake and to let me in on the secret to couponing. It was a lot of fun, and we made these little beauties, Chocolate Ginger Cookies. Neither one of us had had the combination of chocolate or ginger before so we gave it a shot, and they were good! I like the combination of those 2 flavors, it gives sort of a mellow rich flavorful which is very pleasing to the tasties! :) And how did couponing go? Well I went out for a quick trip yesterday as a trial run with only a few coupons (to test the waters), and I spent $8 and saved $11! I can definitely get a hang of that! Can't wait to keep learning! Thanks Laura for teaching me some skills :) And for finding a fun recipe!
