I've never done a holiday cookie exchange.

It seems like a really Martha Stewart thing to host, but I'm hardly Martha.

Oh, I've heard tales of great cookie capers, and they always looked fun, so Becca and I decided to team up for some cookie creatin' this year.

Whew!

A dozen recipes...

hundreds of cookies...

a lot of mixing bowls...

taken up table space...

But success!

We had a great time listening to music, entertaining guests, and cooking until the thought of another cookie sickened us...but we finished!

Mayhaps a new holiday tradition...
