Butter Toffee Cookies & Lemon Bliss Brownies

When I conducted a Project CRISS training at Corporate Landing Middle School in Virginia Beach a couple of weeks ago, I was given clear instructions to bring with me some baked goodies. I met the command two-fold.

It gave me an excuse to reach for a favorite cookie recipe that always seems to be well-received: butter toffee cookies.

I also rushed my way through a brand-new recipe that has circulated on Facebook, for Lemon Bliss Brownies. I think I made it a sugary mess with a bit too strong a flavor of lemon, but we all seemed to like it once we got around to sampling it.
