I had 7 ladies commit, that was just right!
I made 8 dozen turtle cookies to swap for 7 other recipes (and one to share at the event). How could I go wrong?
...Only 5 actually showed up, some were people I haven't seen in AGES, but
it was a great day full of great conversation.
We ended up with tons of loot....turtle cookies, almond fingers, chocolate & caramel pretzels, Christmas mice, snow balls and chocolate chip. Everything was pretty tasty!

The whoel thing was a hit! We can't wait to do it again next year!
So much fun! I love cookie exchanges. My sorority sisters used to do one each year until we got so outnumbered by littles! ;) I think there were about 17 kids age 6 and under at our last gathering and only 5 or 6 adults. Maybe we'll get the tradition started again when more of the littles are out of diapers. Thanks for sharing this!
