For another first, tonight I attended a cookie bake, hosted by Cyndy who has this kind of thing down to an art form.

Each of us brought recipes so that, when done, we would all go home with about four dozen cookies.  Oh my gosh, what a bunch of delicious.

These are some of the main ingredients of the night.

Cyndy was a great team leader.  She kept us fed and on schedule.

This photo of Cyndy's glove caught in the blades could be a cautionary tale that drinking and mixers, well um... don't mix!

Cyndy's Russian Tea cookies were the only tried recipe.  Surprisingly, EVERYTHING came out scrumptious.  I kept tasting them... just to be sure.

Jenny gets the prize for most elaborate of all the cookies.

Debbie made the most exquisite toffee.  Wow.  What a treat.

So this was our reward for the evening.  This 9" X 13" X 5" container was filled to the brim.  If you're anywhere near, I have a cookie or two for you!
