It's time to show off our annual Christmas cookie exchange party!
Our group changes houses every year, to give a turn to a new hostess. This year's party was held at my friend Chantalle's beautiful house. When I got there, she had the basic decoration done, and I helped her tweak the placement of the cookies and added the cookie labels I made on her request. We love to make it as pretty as it is tasty. I love that about this group of girls!
Everyone outdid themselves this year!
For the cookie labels, I used a simple, classic waffleflower frame and gold embossed it. In the same set, I found the little leaf&berry image, which I also gold-embossed for a simple accent.
These chewy gingerbread cookies with candied ginger on top were my fave. Warm and spicy, and everything you want out of a holiday cookie.
I made the caramel thumbprint cookies. When I spied them on Pinterest, I had to try out the recipe. The caramel in the middle was so gooey and delicious!
We had such a fantastic time together!
I hope you've enjoyed checking out this year's cookie exchange. You might like to look back at our past parties:

She set us up around the table - a grown-up tea party with so many yummy cookies to sample.

ReplyDeleteOh, wow! How lovely & fun!
ReplyDeleteThe decorations and house were a beautiful setting for a delightful party with friends. You must have been reading my mind about the caramel turtle cookies. I saw them and thought "I want to make those!" Thanks for the links.
