SLPs Love Cookies! A Virtual Christmas Exchange

My friend Annie over at Doyle Speechworks came up with the fantastic idea of a virtual cookie exchange. Who doesn’t love getting together with your girlfriends and  swapping cookies, stories and a lot of laughs?

It just so happens that yesterday I did just that – in person. Hosted by my friend (and her Mom) who teaches an integrated preschool class, she had tons of great ideas. Charlie Brown’s Christmas theme:  how cute!

 Twenty-two women brought 6 dozen cookies to share and taste-test. 

Sugar overload! Everyone made six dozen cookies, all the same recipe. We chopped up one dozen to taste and judge. Best-tasting, Best Christmas theme, Best overall. There was candy too.

Delicious fun. I was definitely sensing a theme as they announced the winners: Chocolate, chocolate! (Note for next year)

 Here’s what I brought to the party:

These little guys have big maple and bacon flavor- yum! They didn’t really need dressing up,  but you could add a little “snow” and give them a thin coating of icing to make them white if you like.

Each participant brought baggies filled with three cookies each and popped them in these cute take-home goodie bags that were ready for us. We even got pages for our cumulative recipe books. This is the third year I have attended, and we get the recipe pack each year, so it’s growing!
