Question for you veterans. What guidelines do you use for cookies/treats?
Generally we make enough cookies for all guests in the house to have two each afternoon. If they are gone early in the evening we will make some extra, but that is usually enough, there are usually 2-3 left over in the morning. Today I checked in three single ladies staying for the weekend. They camped themselves in the dining room and have been drinking tea for the past two hours...when they arrived there were two dozen cookies, now there are 4 left which means they ate FIVE each because no one else is in the house!
I am going to make more for the other TWELVE guests in the house but I am going to try to avoid putting them out until after the "ladies" leave. I was just curious what kinds of quantities have been normal for you all?
