This weekend some dear friends hosted a cookie exchange. And it was as delicious and festive as it sounds. I woke up on Monday morning with a sugar hangover. I wish I were kidding, but alas, it seems I just can’t handle sweets like I used to. If you scroll down to the bottom of this post, you’ll find the recipe I hold most responsible for this state of affairs.

To recap, the party went a little something like this….

I brought some photo booth props that I downloaded for free here. And we snapped great shots, particularly of the kids, in front of Christmas tree. What party isn’t enhanced by a good photo booth, eh?

Every guest brought a treat…

Then our hostess armed us with festive cookie tins …

And we piled our tins with a sampling of everyone’s baked goods. Such a delightful and fun way to diversify our holiday dessert offerings!

I brought my mom’s famous Creme De Menthe Brownies…

And the most delicious Molasses Cookies of all time.

And in the spirit of giving, I’m going to share the recipe with you so that you too may enjoy their awesome. Click on the image to see it larger. WARNING: MAY CAUSE SUGAR HANGOVER.
