Cookie Exchange

Yesterday a group of friends got together for our annual Christmas brunch/cookie exchange.

These were my cookies - cranberry/macadamia nut cookies dipped in white chocolate. I made some with dried cherries and some with cranberries. Both were delicious.


Doris, our hostess, had her house beautifully decorated.




First things first, let's open the wine!

Our brunch was delicious - filet mignon bites wrapped in bacon, Jewish coffee cake, cream cheese cinnamon pastry (sorry Peggy - don't know correct name, but it was wonderful), sausage pinwheels, cheese pinwheels, ham/cheese brunch bake, cheesy apples, spiced cider, wine, coffee.




The whole group - we missed those of you who couldn't come.

After eating, we played Dirty Santa and exchanged small gifts.

Just a few of the fun gifts.



Our cookie assortment!

Just before we made our way around the table dividing up the goodies.

Good friends, good food, a great Christmas tradition I hope we have for many years.

What a good-looking meal! All the names sound scrumptious. Your cookies look great, too. I think I need the recipe! Glad you got fun times with the kids. Those lights are always fun to view.
