Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!  Was that an official thing back when we were kids?  I don't remember anything so official, but then again, I wasn't the one orchestrating the crafts and gifts and sweet treats.  I'll have to ask my mom, and send her a long-overdue thank-you.  I'm sure even if Teacher Appreciation Week wasn't an official thing, she was still doing stuff to make sure my wonderful teachers knew they were valued.

Anyway, I just wanted to show the cookies my friend Heather and I made for the wonderful teachers at Desert Sun Child Development Center [1], the utterly remarkable preschool where both of my girls have gone.  It's our last year there (sniff).  That's almost sad enough to make me think about having a third kid.  Almost.

I've already written up a tutorial for making these easy-yet-adorable apple cookies [2].   Beginning of the year, end of the year, they're always perfect for a quick, easy, cute, tasty, teacher gift.

You know what I'm most excited about?  Using up that old easter grass in the package of cookies. Cute teacher gift and I get to use up something just hanging out in my garage?  Score!
