Cookie Exchange


It is that time of year again, and there are so many parties to attend! A Cookie Exchange is a great way to get together with friends. Show up with dozens of one kind of cookie and come home with an assortment.  Now you are ready to have your friends over for coffee or tea and share your cookies!  Carry an assortment to any of your parties you will be attending.
These are my all time favorite cookies!
