Former National TV News Journalist, and “Mom on the Run”-- Colleen Burns joins The Balancing Act to share some great recipe ideas and decorating tips!

When asked what kind of cookies her and her family likes to make, Burns says, “Peanut butter with chocolate kiss in middle, Mini whoopie pies, and Sugar are always fun to make for the holidays.  Since I’m economical and like to save time, I go to the Wal-Mart Supercenter or Kroger and get the Lofthouse brand-- then have my kids help me decorate them.”

Lofthouse, is the 3^rd largest cookie brand sold in supermarkets today.  They carry colorful, tasty, soft frosted cookies and many other varieties– some only available at certain times of the year.  Lofthouse Cookies are not just sugar cookies!  Check out their Snickerdoodle cookies. Consumers compare them to homemade cookies and say they’re even better-- with cinnamon sugar.  Lofthouse even offers boxes of prefrosted cookies-- that are great to take to holiday parties!
