Hot Cocoa and Shortbread Cookies



As the rain came down, we heated up the hot cocoa, and Costco has chocolate dipped shortbread cookies... to die for!

 

Basically, we would have done the mini cinnamon rolls, but had to literally flip a coin (as other customers watched me try and restore civility between my kids). Even though my middle son won, the little one threw an even bigger fit, and thankfully the middle child was willing to give up his choice (I asked they choose one so we don't fill up on naughty food at home).

 

I honestly didn't think that I would like the cookies, but the taste is divine! It has a perfect crispness, delicate moisture content (buttery), and I can taste a hint of almond extract. I am actually glad that it squished my negative thoughts. Than to make the experience even better, a woman let me cut in line, before having to make the mad dash to the car in the downpour outside. Anyone who shops Costco knows it is hard to get out under $100, the lines are crazy long (they even removed the self check out which used to speed up our process), and if you are like me it is hard to get around other customers in the isles (they tend to walk slower, and if you make a list and get specific things, it slows down the power walk I love and squeeze in). But I have to admit, there were less congregating around free samples, I got in and out fast, and it was a truly positive experience.

 

Thanks to the lovely woman who let me cut in line, I hope she is blessed for her act of kindness...
