Cookie Exchange


 Happy 4th of July!!

Just in time for the holiday weekend, I hosted a cookie exchange. The idea is that everyone brings one of their favorite cookies for everyone else to try along with the recipe for how to make them.  Then everyone gets to go home with a doggy bag and a new cookbook of recipes.  It was a lot of fun and very delicious!

We had peanut butter cookies (why are they always cross hatched?), Oreo chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip cookies, Russian tea cakes, and ginger macaroons.  Yum!  We also had our fair share of salty snacks to counter the sweets.  Good eats and great company!
