Annual Cookie Day

Three years ago I invited a few of my girlfriends over to bake cookies and watch cheesy Christmas movies. We had a great time and I decided it would be fun to do it every year! Well, last year it snowed a bit which then turned into about 2 feet of snow so needless to say Cookie Day was cancelled last year!

Luckily this year it did not snow, so all the gals made it.


We had lots of food...


And we all made different kinds of cookies!


We had peanutbutter blossoms, brownie cookies, butterscotch oatmeal...


Italian wedding cookies (I think that's what they are)


And Christmas Cherries. I made those, so that's the only recipe I can post or link to. :-)


I have to say I was very skeptical about the green cherries. They're just odd. I tasted one right out of the container and hated them. Luckily, once they baked in the cookies they were much better. I'll probably make these again just because they're cute and colorful.

After the baking was over we divided the cookies between us so we each got several different kinds. We had a great time!
