Clubhouse Cookies

Our friend was moving from a waterfront property to a condo and the night before the movers came, the swim/bike/run friends we all share got together for one last hurrah at her house.  We did a little bit of swimming and whole lot of eating and talking!

We had casually discussed pooling our money together to buy her house as a "clubhouse", so that's the theme I used for these cookies, which I brought on a tray of oatmeal milk chocolate chip cookies.

Ironman Swim Bike Run Cookies

One of my awesome and inspiring friends, Jason, was celebrating his birthday and I decided to make him some cookies, because he likes them (a lot).  The perfect theme for his cookies was Ironman to celebrate his recent achievement in Muskoka, his second time completing the Ironman competition!

These swim cookies are funny, because Jason never wears a swim cap, although they do give you one for each race you enter.  He told me once he rips his off immediately after hitting the water and would claim he "lost it" if he was questioned about it.

Jason loves his bike.  He has tried to convince me I will like cycling too.  Unfortunately, he didn't convince me and my bike was recently sold to someone who is loving it.  I'll stick to the pool.

It is hard to believe someone could run a marathon (42.2 kilometers) after a massive swim (3.86 kilometers) and a crazy long bike ride (180.25 kilometers), but Jason did it, two years in a row!  Happy birthday my friend!
