THANK YOU GOD FOR GRATITUDE!
Saturday morning was a cookie exchange with Joyce Flour Power who doesn't blog anymore, Cheri an Atlanta Blogger, and my daughter> We attended it at Joyce's daughter Annie's house. She's a beautiful gal, a wonderful host, and has a lovely home.
Now these are in random order...
Cookies were set all the way around the kitchen.
This was the light breakfast they served us! It was delish.

Looks like so much fun! I was visiting my Grandson and getting my own kind of sugar...lol! Yummy cookies you made! hugs, Linda
The cookie exchange sounds like it was great fun. I went to some years ago but hadn't thought about them for a while. What a good way for women to get together and share the spirit of the season.
Sounds like a fun time! Thanks for the recipe!

I keep re-reading the recipe. Am I missing something?? How long do you leave them in the oven?? Not 5 hours ?? I'm so confused!! Lol
Your cookie exchange looks like so much fun, and to come home with such a variety of treats. I will try your recipe after the holidays. Thanks.
It looks so nice there, what a great idea to have cookie exchange. I like the gratitude quote. Have a lovely day my friend! Hugs x
That sure looks like a fun morning! Your cookies sound very good, Sandie! That's a great photo of you lovely ladies and the scarves are a sweet gift.
Yum, look at all those sweets! I'm supposed to go to a cookie exchange Wednesday night, but I've been really sick and I'm not sure I'll be up for it.
Guess what?!? You won my 500 followers giveaway!!! Can you email me your address so I can get it out to you? :-)
I'm glad ou had a nice time. You ladies in GA sure know how to have fun. :) Hot chocolate and cookies are at the top of my fun list. LOL

Love the idea!!! And your recipe sounds really good. I love chocolate mint! I use to follow Joyce when she was blogging. Could you please say hi to her for me? She was always so sweet and sent me a card when my hubby left. I think that's how I met you! You might have signed the card! I would appreciate you telling her I say hi!!! Thanks!
Dang... wish I could eat sugar. I would eat your rejects for you and take them off your hands.
Mmmm....all this baking! It all looks so yummy! Even what you are referring to as your 'rejects'! Ha!
Wishing you a wonderful week friend!

Yummy.
Hey Sandie, Thank you for sharing this with all your friends on here..I feel included. Just love it..
And you won't believe it, but a Blogger friend named Jerry sent me a great recipe taht I am going to try.
Love Ya Crystal xxx
that looked like a really fun day. Your cookies look pretty good to me and they sound delicious
So that is how a cookie exchange goes. How fun!
Sandie,
That looks like so much fun. I would love it.
You asked about the red and white stripe ribbon on my blog. It came from Belk's many years ago after Christmas. I love it but have not been able to find anymore. The bows I'm using are getting pretty worn.
This looks just wonderful to me. I would love to do it because I love to bake cookies. (And OK, I love to eat cookies too) Your recipe looks like something my younger daughter would just love.
And I laughed right out loud at the thing for the fridge! So true!
My Aunt Dot used to make those cookies every Christmas, Sandie!! I always loved them but have never tried to make them. Thank you for the recipe. Looks like y'all had a great time at the cookie exchange.
I know your brother is celebrating well this Christmas. I'm sorry for your missing him. blessings ~ tanna
What a fun event - enjoyed it ALMOST as much as if I had been there in person

Looks fabulous, Sandie. So much fun! Susan
Thank you for sharing your recipe. It looks different than my usual one. I will have to try this on my family.
The Chocolate Chip Mint cookies sound wonderful. I need to try them. It has been like 25 years since I have been to a cookie exchange. I think they are fun!
Those cookies sound delicious, Sandie! I bet they were a hit at that cookie exchange! I've never been to a cookie exchange, but I do hear they are fun and you can get cookies that perhaps you might not have made before. Looks like a lot of fun too at your exchange; food looked good and who can resist a cup of hot chocolate with a cookie? Glad you and your daughter could go and have fun (and bring home cookies to share with the rest of your family!)
betty
The cookie exchange sounds like a lot of fun! Looks like you all had a nice time-enjoy:@)
Hi Sandie, I love cookie exchanges --when you can actually go home with not only the recipe but also some cookies!!!!! I don't care for them when they are JUST recipes... Obviously I like the cookies!!!! ha ha
Are scarves the "IN" thing this year??? So many people in that picture are wearing scarves... Guess this is the year for scarves... (I'm so out-of-touch!!!)
Hugs,
Betsy
Oh yes! Have made those cookies befor. YUMMY! Cookies exchange looked like lots of fun!
Oh, what fun!
I don't care how weird those cookies look - anything with chocolate and mint in it is delicious by me (except maybe brussels sprouts...I told you I despise those little bundles).
