Oh Cookies!

These are only a few of the twelve dozen cookies I exchanged with friends Thursday evening. I hosted for the third year in a row, a small cookie exchange. A chance for moms to hopefully enjoy a relaxing evening during the rush of the Holiday. Although, I did add to their rush by asking each one to make twelve dozen of the same kind of cookie to come to my house to exchange them. All happily obliged and I didn't have to find one fill in, at all. I LOVE good friends!








And I LOVE cookies! Now I need some company to come and enjoy these with me. Hurry up Wednesday. Or Grandpa and JJ aren't going to get any.
I exchanged cake pops. Make one cake. Cool. Crumble it into a bowl and add one can of frosting. I prefer Duncan Hines. You can make any kind. Vanilla. Chocolate. Strawberry. Mixed. Vanilla remains my favorite. After you mix it all together put in the refrigerator, until you are able to make one inch balls easily. Put balls in freezer, freeze. Dip lollipop sticks in melted candy coating and stick into each ball. Let the candy coating harden and dip the entire pop into the candy coating. Put into styrofoam and let harden completely. Enjoy!
