Olympic Sweeties

Butter Baked Goods is a pastel-painted bakery on Dunbar that sells old-fashioned sweets. They made some special treats to celebrate the Olympics and a couple of days ago I spotted a table where each goody was priced at one dollar each. I love a bargain, so I snatched up some novelty cookies and s'mores.

I love these sparkly red mitten cookies. Authorized by VANOC? I think not. Maybe that's why they had to sell them so fast. My son was happy to eat the incriminating evidence. So was I.

There are two kind's of s'mores here. Butter Baked Goods makes their own marshmallows, and these were sandwiched between two soft and buttery maple ginger cookies. One version had chocolate on the insides of the cookies and the other had maple fudge. I loved both of these (the chocolate was my favorite) and hope they make s'more!
