Linda, these cookies look so good. I bet they made a big hit at the Cookie Exchange. I love the plating of them. So Christmasy.......
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know, going today at 12
DeleteYour cookies look delicious, Linda. All dressed up for the holiday season. I bet the cookie exchange was fun. Did they have a lot of people baking? I went to a cookie swap at Robin's on Sunday-oh my goodness the goodies!
ReplyDeleteI added the post today because when I go to the exchange I don't have to write out the recipe, I give them the link to the blog and they print it out.
DeleteI bet it was fun sharing goodies with Robin and friends.
Oh gosh I wish I could have some.
