The winner cookies I am baking to share at the Cookie Exchange are the.......hot cocoa cookies. I test made them last week. They were a hit!! Even better they go with the holiday season. My other favorites were the lemon sugar cookies with cream cheese frosting, rolo cookies (so easy) and cherry pecan icebox cookies. Oh there are too many to list!!! My least favorite tested cookie was the chocolate gooey butter cookies. The cream cheese in the recipe just did not do it for us. All we tasted was chocolate and cream cheese. It was not very gooey or buttery. Do not get me wrong I love ooey gooey butter cake but this was not the same. Not to worry though my dog snuck into the kitchen overnight to secretly devour the leftovers. He was sick the next morning. *smh*
The Cookie Exchange was a delightful evening. The committee had several women from the Church speak about Christmas Traditions. They had a wonderful but fattening dinner served. The conversations and new people I met were inspiring. Since there were so many people we only made 12 cookies & recipes to exchange. We displayed our goodies a table. At the end of the evening we grabbed a take-home box. We filled them with 12 cookies. I saw several from pinterest, some oldies but goodies, some too cute like one had a mouse made out of kisses on top. There were also a couple store bought; my favorite of this variety was the one with instructions to get in car, drive to Collin Street Bakery and ask for that cookie!
I forgot to snap a picture of my plated cookies but here is a picture of my Grandmother and I before the dinner.
