It's official - Hannah and I will be doing the farmers' market again this year! :) The annual market meeting was last week, and we were able to reserve our space. That means we don't have to get up quite so early - last year being our first year, it was first come, first serve.
I have had a list of new products that I would like to try, which means I need to submit recipes and labels to the state before they can be sold. This month has been a great time to start testing numerous recipes! Muffins, brownies, and cookies have all been on the docket, and the family and church friends have been happy to be my taste testers. :) The latest exhibit: Funfetti Cookies!
They're basically just a sugar cookie with sprinkles, but they do look more festive and colorful than a regular sugar cookie, which may draw people's eye. I found the recipe on Tasty Kitchen last year and immediately bookmarked it! Sprinkles make everything better, don't they?
There's still quite a list of yummy sweets just waiting to be tested - anyone want to help me? :)

Me! Me! (jumping up and down) pick me pick me!! :) LOL I can see those cookies in many color schemes..(Don't I sound like a quilter , I bet your mom is smiling!). Wow Sarah, I didn't know there was so much to do behind the scenes to get ready for the next season ...except for cooking. :) Have fun testing all your new ideas and recipes. :)

I just may need to stop by the next time I'm in the area. Yum!
I've been dropping serious hints to my daughter that we should do another Williamsburg vacation but this time during their Spring homeschool week.
So far all I get is "SOMEDAY"...

That's great that you will have a permanent spot -- your regulars will know where to find you.

I took one of these to work and a guy at the lunch table said, "Hm..colorful cookie."
Yes indeed.

If I lived close, I'd even volunteer to be a taste-tester for you! From the photo, they look like winners. Best wishes!

Funfetti Cookies look yummy.
Interesting about sending recipes to the state before they can be sold.

I am hoping to come to the Farmers Market some time this year. I know you will have much success because you both put so much work into everything you do.

Keep up the good work girls, you are an inspiration to many and you set good examples for our young friends. Your parents have done a good job also.
Just some observations from someone who enjoys your blog.
