Hi Robin

I think this is the 10th year we've baked cookies. As I've mentioned before our group actually BAKES at our cookie party. All eleven of us attended this year. A couple gals baked their cookies ahead of time (they say they get too involved in talking that they forget an ingredient or two). Others brought their dough already made and just need to make balls and bake. And a few still mix up their cookies AT the bake-off.

We each have at least two different recipes. When all cookies are baked, we grab our containers and walk around the table to gather our cookies. Here is our group picture from this year. The highlight of the year was that our hostess made us each an apron....aren't they just the cutest! Jo is just the best! And even though we love the cookies (our families do too), it's the friendship we all share that's even better.
