Cookie Exchange Gettogether Dec 2
-
Post #1 - November 6th, 2012, 12:24 pmIt is time for the annual cookie exchange.
It will be at my place from 3-5PM on December 2nd.
The same rules apply as always you bring 10 cookies for each participant of what you are making and then some extra to exchange at the actual event.
I will be making a small repast to serve before the tasting so we all do not pass out from a sugar high.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Attendees:
1) Cookie Monster
2) Irisabor
3) leek
4) Cathy2
5) mamgotcha
6) food nut
7) LauraS
8) Allison
9) prairieclover
10)IngridLast edited by Cookie Monster on November 29th, 2012, 3:32 pm, edited 6 times in total.Cookie Monster

Post #2 - November 6th, 2012, 3:40 pmI am in!
Still deciding, but inside out almond joy macaroons are a likely candidate.
It looks like a dozen is the way to go so I will, too...Last edited by irisarbor on November 9th, 2012, 3:13 pm, edited 1 time in total."If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay home."

Post #16 - November 15th, 2012, 2:31 pmI added Ingrid to our group.
I was worried about what was happening with the cookie exchange as besides Elaine I did not get one single notification so I thought no one signed up.
Wow and behold when I checked it all these people signed up and I did not know.
This should be fun I will be serving quiche and salad or something Polish not sure yet.
Look forward to seeing everyone.Last edited by Cookie Monster on November 29th, 2012, 8:28 am, edited 2 times in total.Cookie Monster

I was a judge a couple of years ago when the theme was chocolate. The winner was not based on the fact that it was fabulous, it just rated best out of the dozen we had to choose from. So beware, the winning cookie may only be average.Ms. Ingie

Post #30 - November 29th, 2012, 9:40 amI'm sorry that I won't be able to come to the exchange anymore. I've been fighting some nasty bug all week with no signs of getting better, and I can't see myself baking cookies with this cough. I hope this will free up a spot for another eager baker. I really really hope I'll be well enough for the Holiday party so I'll at least get to see some of you the night before. Have a good time!
