Welcome to the last day of the Mistletoe Make and Bake event.
Quite possibly you could have 65 new recipes to add to your rotation. I have some new ones I am excited to try out. I find the more I bake the less I want to eat it. Crazy, I know!Today's designers are
Today's topic is....... A Cookie Exchange Tip
Having a large family was not very conducive for many cookie exchanges. We always seemed to eat the cookies before we could get them traded. I also have a few people in my family that will not eat anything from "strangers." So I started doing some research on this topic. I found there are many websites for the professional cookie exchange enthusiast. Cookieexchange.com is one of these sites. Robin started her exchanges in 1989. I thought I would pass on some of her suggestions. Make your cookie exchange a women's only event. Do not eat the cookies during the exchange. Serve
hors d'oeuvres and adult beverages. That seems pretty simple.
I hope you enjoy exchanging cookies as much as I have enjoyed exchanging recipes.
Thank you to Sherri Falls and the other designers for inviting me along.
Have a wonderful holiday and as the song goes, "Don't get caught under the mistletoe
with anyone else but _____ (you can fill in the blank here)."

We have still have ornaments the kids (now 26 & 29) made in Kindergarten and first grade on the tree. Some have school pictures on them - these are priceless to us! Thank you for the recipe and for sharing about your ornaments and tree.

You were a great blogger! Aren't you happy you did it? Terrific recipes, too.
For my cookie exchange we always bake an extra dozen to put on the table to share. That way we can try the cookies but we all still go hame with our own. This has been a wonderful week. I really enjoyed meeting all of you and getting some great recipes and projects. I have already made a few of them and will be making more now that the weekend is here. Have a wonderful Christmas and God bless

I love monster cookies! Unfortunately, I love them too much and eat too many of them by myself!

We've enjoyed exchanging with our neighbors, making home-made ornaments to top off the plate is an added touch. The hugs and holiday greetings between neighbors is the best of all!
