Mmmmm cookie party!!!!!

Today was our annual cookie party with my "gym friends" and a few other fun gals. In the past we have gone to Carrabas and also to Cheddars. The problem with that is all the other other tables stare at you longingly and at times even let their kids come over and beg for free samples. SERIOUSLY!  This year we decided to go to the Panera in Florence because they have a private party room. What a great idea! We were able to shut the doors and have some privacy and we also had yummy healthy dinner!

Special thanks to all my ladies who participated: Julie, Janae, Sarah, Sandy, Niki, Shannon, Lacey,Elaina, Aunt Judie, my mother in law Barb, and whoever else I forgot- SORRY!!!!

The cookies are all sooooooooo good! We had white chocolate macadamia cookies, cherry chunkies, peanut butter, sugar cookie snowmen, mint chocolate, wedding cookies, turtle pretzels, peanutbutter chocolate bars, pecan bars and snowflake sugar cookies! I am seriously considering doing this more than once a year! These ladies can bake!  :)

Here is the link for the iced sugar cookie snowflakes I made. (My first attempt at royal icing,too!)
