That's right, this past Friday was the annual Michigan Lady Food Bloggers' cookie exchange!I brought lavender lemon shortbread and molasses raspberry cookies (on the big white platter in the photo).
It'll be a little easier to name the cookies with the photo below, which contains the quantity I brought home, minus the cookies I ate while at Patti's, minus the cookies I ate in the car, minus the cookies Brian ate when I came through the door... (The cookies I brought aren't in this photo because I gave all of them away at the swap. I froze some extra dough so we can have some once we deplete this vast quantity of sugar and fat...maybe sometime in April...)
Starting with the top left corner and working vaguely clockwise we have: apricot and raspberry linzer cookies, white chocolate cookies, pecan snowballs, ginger snaps and molasses cookies, three different kinds of 'bastards': Oreo bastards (the white ones), lemon bastards (the yellow) and peanut butter bastards (the chocolate), raspberry rugulach, Hanukkah dreidels and stars, Spritz cookies, mini carrot cardamon muffins, date walnut spirals, anise cut outs, chocolate crinkles, and chocolate macarons.I love this tradition--it is the best way to get variety in your cookie selection and I get to hang out with a bunch of cool women for an evening and I don't get guilt-tripped by my critters for ditching them for an evening. When they saw this platter of sugary bounty their eyes went all round and they started treating me like God.

I know--it is the best time :) Jeff LOVED your cookies (he had them for breakfast yesterday cuz I wasn't cookin breakfast). I happened to pick out yours and Tricia's and he loved them.
You have to come to our next soup exchange...that is a good time and you leave with so much soup you will be eating it for months :)
How fun!!! I wish I had a group to do that with out here...I'll have to look next year, wherever I am :) Looks like such a great variety - hope you all don't sugar crash at the same time!
I was hoping to find your lavender lemon shortbread recipe here, because that was one of my favorites!
I updated the post so it has a link to the shortbread recipe. Enjoy!
