Friends #11 Cookie Exchange-alicious!

On December 14, 2011 by Lori

Yummy in My Tummy

Tonight, I attend my third cookie exchange this month.  I love making my Aunt Bettys One Eyed Susans, otherwise known as Peanut Butter Blossoms, but I am blossomed out.

I wanted something a bit different.   At my last exchange they had a few new ideas, a grandma designed a carved board in the shape of a tree and placed her bourbon balls as the ornaments- Go Grammy!  They also had a full bar on a Sunday afternoon (nice huh? why not?)  One of the dads was serving oatmeal cookie shots- lots of fun stuff mixed together.  Tasted like a real oatmeal cookie!  So I thought I could switch it up a bit and I headed for the hard liquor aisle in the store.  Guess what I found?

Break out the curly straw and prepare to be flooded by fond memories!  Cookies & Milk with a 40 proof kick.  May need to bring my camera for some memorable moments tonight.  I grabbed a bottle and hit up Starbucks for some of those lil shot glasses.  Picked up some whip cream and now we are set!  Of course I will prep it on a silver platter and chill the goods in an ice bucket.

    I downloaded this book from the Kindle store last month about Cookie swaps. So far, I tried the Linzer Torte cookies.
