Buon mangiare! Grazie!

Hey! I’m finally making my rounds to the Cookie Exchange blogs. 🤦♀️ Better late than never?
Thank you again, Staci, for arranging this and making it happen. It’s such a fantastic idea!

I bet you won’t need a fire extinguisher. Let me know if you do try any. I think you might surprise yourself!

WW is Weight Watchers. I submitted a request on your blog, but I don’t think it worked. So, instead I posted my post and linked to your post here. I hope that’s all right. I’m not getting your comments either, so that is strange. I’m glad I came back here to read. The wonderful world of WP. LOL! Happy Yule and I wish you a merry Christmas. I signed up for your newsletter too.

As wonderful as WP is, it’s been incredibly glitchy. So has every freaking Google service I’ve been trying to work with. What you did was definitely all right. I’ll try to find your post’s URL so I can add it to the master list. I’m so sorry I didn’t get this.

We don’t do cookies… but I submitted a request for a WW Cranberry Pumpkin Muffin. I’m not sure that works for your cookie’s but it’s a favorite recipe of mine. 🥳

There’s no right or wrong way. I did (what I consider) a very thorough post last year. This year, I only managed a pic of the final product and the recipe itself. As long as bakers know what to do and what it should look like when they’re done. But no rush on my account. You have more than eleven months!
SInce we’re talking about it, where did you submit a request? And what is WW?

I hate it so much that I missed out on the cookie exchange this year, Staci. I had good intentions, but the time and life just got away from me. Next year! I’ve already copied down a couple of new recipes to try from this list. 🙂

It seemed only right to not cancel the exchange AND to include the cookie Nana was famous for. She’d have loved this.
There were wonderful cookies on the list this year. I’m also looking forward to trying them. So glad you took part, Amy. Wishing you and yours a safe, happy, and healthy holiday season.

It’s not fair to gain weight just by looking. I think we should bake some. If we have to put on pounds through this experience, we might as well get a snack or two out of it! 😊
So glad you joined in this year, Joan.
