Ah the Holidays. A time for Family, Friends and Cookies!!
This year we started a new tradition in my house. Everyone who came over Christmas Day needed to bring cookies (enough to share with everyone) and then we had a mini cookie swap. There were 12 of us this year, so we had a nice variety!!
Here are some delicious cookie recipes I have found and been sent from friends. I am already planning for a Christmas in July cookie swap, and for next Christmas!!
