I hosted my second annual cookie exchange in our neighborhood last weekend. It was a lot of fun! We have drinks and hors d'oeuvres, an ornament gift exchange and then exchange our cookies at the end. I look forward to this event, not only because I adore Christmas time, but I am getting great recipes and ideas for my baking hobby! I decided to layer my cookie recipe in a jar with attached directions for one of my take home gifts for my friends. This year I made Cranberry Hootycreeks. I originally found this recipe on Allrecipes and made them for the first time about 4 years ago. They are delicious!! I wanted to share this holiday recipe for your next cookie exchange, or maybe your next craving....
