I've never been to a cookie exchange before, and now I know why. Seriously? 10 dozen cookies?!? 120 cookies? Crazy!Plus, the cookies we brought needed to be 'freezable' and that seemed to limit my choices even further. How the heck do I know what's freezable?
I wanted to make a recipe my mom used to make when I was young, all I remember was sneaking into the garage {where we kept the cookies so they stayed refrigerated}, to sneak these yummy cherry chip bars.
Anyway, my mom found the recipe ... called for cherry chips and a cherry chip cake mix. Neither of which is on the market anymore. Although, my mom did find the cake mix available at amazon.com. Only problem is I needed to make them now!
Online I went and found a recipe for Magic Cookie Bars. Easy enough! And instead of using a 9x13 pan, like the recipe called for ... I used a cookie sheet and doubled the recipe. A couple hours later, I was good to go.
Pulled out a favor from my 'secret weapon' {Nellie} and got a pretty recipe design. Printed, cut and attached to a take out container ... very Martha Stewart if I do say so myself!
Next year, I'm only going for the wine ... no cookies from me!

But Tracie...they are so good. I don't think anyone's going to be freezing yours anyway. They'll all be eaten before they'd make it to the freezer :)
Thanks for coming...and that you managed to stay a little while longer.
