Last year I held a cookie party. It gave me a chance to make tons of cookies for my friends, and my friends deserve lots of cookies. This year I promised everyone that I'd make 12 varieties. Because I've been so busy the baking was a little frantic, but it got done! The last sheet of cookies came out of the oven 45 minutes before the first guest arrived.
Chocolate Sandwich Cookies (half filled with peanut butter icing, half filled with raspberry icing)
Oatmeal Craisin Cookies (Note: I used Craisins and skipped the almonds)
Marshmallow Suprise Cookies (Note: I eliminated the frosting because that seemed crazy)
Spreads (aka inside-out chocolate chip cookies)
That's 12 kinds if you count the 2 kinds of sandwich cookies (and I do--those cookies were a serious pain to make). I also bought some apples from the farmer's market and Vince kindly ate one. We had warm cider and rum (thanks, Owens family!), surprise balls for the kids, wine, chocolate milk, and holiday music aplenty.
