it's that time of year ...

homemade caramels
fudge
white chocolate dipped pretzels
chocolate/oatmeal no bakes
iced sugar cookies
the little cookies with the hershey kisses on top
the list goes on and on and on.
... yum!

in small town illinois where i come from, we have the christmas tradition of cookie swaps around the holidays! and i wanted to see if there was any interest here in nashville. (for those of you outside of nashville ... be encouraged to start your own!)

the plan:

each girl will simply make their christmas favorite ...
i've seen 6 dozen online! woah. that's a lot of cookies. most of my friends are married w/out kids or with itty bitty non-cookie eating kids. so i think we'll stick with 3 dozen.

then we're meeting - thursday, december 16th @ 7.00 to swap.

after everyone has socialized for a bit, i plan to gather everyone in the kitchen around the table adorned with cookie madness! i want everyone introduce themselves and their cookie. i especially am excited to hear why they chose to bring their specific cookie. {though my excuse will probably be something like - "i attempted two other recipes ... and finally landed on this no bake!" ha! i kid.}

then we swap! again ... yum!

should be a lot of fun. interested? comment and i'll get you details!
