Cookies

Cassaundra Perez, who created Grinch’s Bleeding Heart Cookies, her own concoction. She described it as a sugar cookie mixed with a pastry. The name comes from the strawberry filling “bleeding” a bit during the baking process.
Perez said she has a passion for cooking. “I started when I was 8,” she said. “I love to bake and cook.” She said it doesn’t matter if it’s Italian food or Japanese cuisine, she enjoys making it all.
For her entry, she said she tried various fruit fillings, including blueberries, before settling with the strawberry. “I started experimenting last week,” she said.
Perez said because it’s the off season, she had to shop around to get the best strawberries. “It was hard to find the bright red ones,” she said. “I had to go from store to store.”
In third place was Louisa Nieto with her oat, sugar, coconut cookie dipped in white chocolate, Anzac Bisquits.

lot for the holidays. And people love to go to their houses and see what’s been pulled from the oven. Of course, everybody knows that all the best cookies have no calories and that the more you eat the hungrier you get.
Right. At least that’s what I tell people. It’s a scenario from Norton Juster’s book, “The Phantom Tollbooth.” The young adult book was illustrated by Jules Feiffer and blew my mind as a 10- or 11-year-old.
Ontiveros was a big fan of Perez’s pastry-cookie. So was I.
“You’ve got jam, you’ve got crust,” Ontiveros said. “It makes for a good cookie.”
Flores was sold on Molano’s. “That was good,” he said. He chased it with a fresh cup of coffee. He said his crew still had two more print jobs to run that afternoon.
Tamez also liked the Molano cookie. “Lot of chocolate. Really buttery, chocolaty and sweet,” she said. “And I like sweet.”
Macias, too. “I’m a chocolate chip cookie fan,” she said.
But Molano’s was hardly an average chocolate chip and boasted many ingredients, which may

drove past and revved their engines. Like quite a few people, I forgot all about the inclement weather and just admired the iconic American sports cars.
Rain pooled on the tops of the Sanger Marching Band’s drums. The musicians didn’t react. They played their set for the judges like it was any other sunny day.
When the horses appeared, one of the group of boys clustered at the northeast corner of Seventh and N streets made a comment about the beautiful blond mane of one of them. “I like that one,” said Riley Serum, almost 9. “It has a long mane.”
Tyler Bradshaw, almost 10, also reflected positively on the big animals as they danced their way past the judges. He liked them, too.
That group moved on and Robert Escutia, 10,

But she had no shortage of affection. Or blankets.
About that time, the Fairmont Elementary float traveled slowly past, revealing a little boy who used a massive oak leaf as an umbrella.
After Santa drove past in his white fire truck and the final police SUV revealed the end of the parade, a street sweeper drove down Seventh Street. Bubenik said, “Biggest parade in Sanger history.” It had about 80 entries in seven divisions.
Bubenik said the rain didn’t dampen anybody’s spirits. “It was a really good parade,” he said.
Judges of the parade were Pastor Paul Canaday from Grace Community Church, Gina Lynn
