<cough> I quit going to neighborhood cookie exchanges after coming
home from one with chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal cookies, and peanut
butter cookies; and my contribution to the exchange (a dozen for each
participant) had been highly decorated cut-outs. The ones that jazz up
a cookie plate. I want CC, PB, and oatmeal, I'll make my own, thanks.
Allow me to suggest that you deep six the CCs unless you know the
recipient never turns the oven on. No offense intended. Just my humble
opinion.
