Well Texas... I Tried

I have mentioned a few times that I have a son who attends The University of Texas in Austin. Greg has wanted to study at UT since he was in first grade. Though UT is an excellent school providing a top notch education, this isn't why Greg is a student there. It's Football! Yep, the boy bleeds Longhorn burnt orange.

Ok, I'm not a sports fan but a good mama roots for their child's happiness. I wear my “Texas Longhorn Mom” shirt proudly and dutifully check the score of the games during the commercial breaks on Lifetime. This year has been rough for the Longhorns so I wanted to do something for Greg and his 3 roommates to lift their spirits and bring luck to the team. So while making my Halloween cookies for my kids, I made the Austin boys some special treats.



I gave Greg the cookies during the week and hoped for the best on Saturday. Obviously my cookies weren't enough to earn a victory but I hope they were enough to show my son how much I love him.

Go Longhorns!

    If these cookies couldn't clench the win, nothing could. I was there in person too and that game was nothing short of painful. Brutal actually. But these cookies are winners! Adorable. Thanks for sharing.

    Maybe you should make a batch for the team next time? I am sure they will be inspired!

    Those longhorn cookies are darling. I miss attending college football and the excitement of the games. I went to the University of Arkansas and Texas was a big rival school in my day. It was a long time ago and Daryl Royal was the coach at Texas then.

    What great looking cookies -- that would be like my son to go to school for the football and not the school! I am following you back. Joni
