3rd Annual Cookie Exchange | Oreo Cheesecake Truffles

Las night marked our third annual Christmas cookie exchange. Each December the girls and I get together for a good 'ol fashion cookie swap, share in some Christmas cheer and enjoy each others company.

14 girls x 6 cookies/girl = Cookie Coma

What will the fate of 80+ cookies be?

If you ask J.  They are now his property.

If you ask the kids.  They want to ship them to Santa.  Their logic is simple.  Cookies = presents.  Lots of cookies = lots of presents.

I guess only time will tell what comes of these delicious treats....for now, it's cookies for breakfast.

This year I decided to go a different route and opt to make truffles instead of cookies.  Oreo Cheesecake Truffles to be exact.  My reasoning was simple; no bake, 3 ingredients, sinfully delicious.  Triple win.

Merry Christmas Friends!   2012 was a great year and I can't wait to see what 2013 holds for all of us.  I'm certain of one thing though, there will be cookies involved....

Peace, Love & Joy,

JS
