Cookie Exchange

The "Grannie Group" in our ward was having a cookie exchange party tonight hosted by my mother-in-law (Sharon) who invited me to join even though I am NOT a Grannie. I had so much fun talking to the ladies that came to celebrated with us. The cookie that I took was a new receipt and was a BIG hit. I decided to share it with everyone so here it is! YUMMY! (It can easily be double!!)
