Today was the first annual playgroup cookie exchange. And it didn't disappoint!
I came home with 10 dozen cookies in 5 varieties. The baking was pretty easy. It took me 2 hours to make 13.5 dozen cookies (not counting the first batch I burned). The hard part will be letting all those cookies walk out the door as Christmas presents for friends and neighbors.
I made a peanut butter cookie with a hershey kiss on top - a classic cookie if you ask me. My recipe should have made 12 dozen, but I ended up with way more! In the past I've tended to make my cookies too big and come up short on my count, so I think I was being overly cautious and made them a little too small.
My tummy is happy I have extra, but I know my hips are gonna be pissed.
P.S. Sorry no pictures; our expert photographer was absent today on account of her lil guy being sick. Missed ya Nata-Leigh!

We were so sad not to be there either, but so happy we could get the cookies there (and even happier when Brandy brought ours back)! I have yet to sample them as my hips have requested I hold off as long as possible. But, they look great! (Maybe I'll take a few pics later to post on my blog and you can steal them.)
Wait a minute, wait a minute ... I'm supposed to give these cookies away? I wondered what I supposed to do with that many cookies! Pictures posted on my blog.
Sounds delightful, the holidays are always so much fun!
Sorry I've been absent on the comments lately, things are a little crazy, but good crazy, plus I've been blogging since last yr, so I don't have that much to write anymore! lol
