12/13/15 Saturday and Sunday--Cookie Exchange

Yesterday I baked a double batch of Snickerdoodles.  I only burned two batches!  I was using "old" cookie sheets. The cookies stuck and burned.

After that happened I used parchment paper on each cookie sheet  and no more burned cookies.

Tonight at 5:30 there was a "cookie exchange" at church.  Each lady brought two dozen cookies plus recipe.

After enjoying snacks there was a "white elephant" gift exchange.
You know, person #1 chooses a wrapped gift, unwraps and displays her gift.  Person #2 then has the choice of choosing gift #1 or choosing a wrapped gift.  The gift choosing or "stealing" an opened gift goes around the room til everyone has a gift.

There was a variety of cookies, of course.  Snickerdoodles, hot chocolate cookies, s'mores cookies, two varieties of "wedding cookies", pull-apart cinnamon bread, strawberry cookies, two varieties of oatmeal cookies, gingerbread cookies.

Our church has very good bakers/cooks!  Just wait until next Sunday when there is Christmas potluck lunch!

CJ, the concrete contractor, brought a roofer by this afternoon to look at the roof that needs replacing.  He will bring an estimate by tomorrow for labor.  Glen was very impressed with his comments and knowledge.
