3rd Annual Christmas Cookie Party

Last night, I hosted my third annual Christmas Cookie Exchange party.  It’s become a tradition that I look forward to each year.

I always host the party the Monday before Christmas — it gives me the weekend to cook and clean, and once I’ve gotten everything ready for the party, I feel like my house is ready for Christmas.  Plus, it leaves me less time to scarf all the goodies.

Last week, I was trying to decide what to make.  I settled on the Cappuccino Crinkles, which turned out wonderfully, if I do say so myself.

All the ladies brought delicious goodies and it was a great evening of sweet fellowship.

In years past, I’ve asked gals to bring their recipes and we share them on a binder ring.  This year, I decided to ask everyone to email me their recipe and I assembled a Cookie Exchange Booklet — which I am happy to share with you.  They are hosted on a 3rd-party file sharing site (DropBox), but it should be simple — just click the link, then click the download button to get the file.
