My mom always baked cookies for the holidays and so did my husband's mom. He has his favorites and I have mine, now we have our favorites together. Every year I bake cookies adding a little of his and a little of mine to create sweet memories for us both.
I decided to extend this tradition and start one with my friends. For our annual Scuba diving club Christmas party, everyone was asked to bring 2 dozen of their favorite cookie for a cookie swap. It was a hit and now I have a few new favorite recipes.
