Maryland Therapeutic Riding asked me to make a Kentucky Derby cookie basket for their silent auction this weekend. What a wonderful organization! I was so excited to do some research and make fun cookies for this event. I am not a big fan of horse racing-it makes me way too nervous to watch. But, I LOVE the work that this organization does for children, wounded veterans, and people with both physical and emotional special needs.
I found some great ideas and wanted to make ALL of them, but I stuck had to stick with 3. This is such a fun time of year, and such a whimsical and nostalgic event. When I think of the Kentucky Derby, I think of HATS
mint juleps
and of course, the horses!
