Alessandro ran the Dallas half Marathon this morning and totally rocked it! I’m definitely proud of that guy. And it actually looked like the best time ever. Although I was a solid cheerleader, I might need to join in on the fun next year. And nowww, we gotta get our party pants on and root on our Kansas Jayhawks! But before I go…I need to share this glorious recipe with you all because I’m sure you’re planning your Easter menu’s and these most definitely need to make the cut! I would be lying if I told you I only had one of these cookie cups and NO, I did not lick the icing bowl (gah, who do you think I am?).
Now go on, put these items on your list and get to baking!! Happy Sunday, half marathons, Jayhawk Bball, and Easter Cookie Cups with BUTTERCREAM FROSTING.
