COOKIE EXCHANGE PARTY

A cookie exchange is a fun way for you and your friends to sample an assortment of delicious homemade cookies for the holidays while only baking one kind.  At  Lealinds Gifts in My Friends and I, space #13, you can pick up one of these "Cookie Swap" party planning booklet.  There are special recipes, recipe cards, invitations, a party planning timeline, and tips on making, baking and packaging.  It's a great way to start the holiday season and enjoy yummy sweets while having a fun time with family and friends.  Here is an easy tip for making drop cookies ahead of time.  With a small ice cream scoop form balls of dough and freeze on a baking sheet.  After they are frozen, put them in a freezer bag and keep in freezer for up to four months.  When you are ready just thaw and bake.  What a great idea!  Have a cookie decorating night with your family, with frosting, gumdrops, and candy sprinkles, YUM!
