Thank YOU! (and MrS!) You are extremely generous to open your home to us every year - and throw such a great party. DH magically appeared at home last night and we put a huge dent in the cookies already.
Whoever made the cookies with the giant chocolate chunks and I think pretzels? Graham crackers? These things are killers and I MUST have the recipe please!
Thanks again, it was great to see everyone!

Thank so much for hosting MrsStrug!! You have a beautiful home.
It was great to see people again and meet new people!
I mentioned a possible home brew GTG to DH and he is really excited about it!
Oh yeah and the cookies are awesome! we have been munching on them all day. I love the Salted Nutella ones. I'm so happy someone made those. I saw them in the Washington Post and regretted that I had already bought ingredients for my Butter and Jam cookies.

I'm pretty sure these were from RobinaUMCP.
I also like the lemon ones (and, DH liked them, too!) I think those were from Jen (Jen248?) I can't remember for certain, though...
Maybe I didn't get one of each (I *was* a little tipsy by the time cookie taking happened...). I didn't see any salted caramel thumbprints or salted nutella cookies! I'll have to dig deeper into the stash. hmm.
We make the rockin' world go 'round.
Yup, that was me - good memory! Glad to hear you and others liked them, I will be sure to send bh5220 the recipe.
ETA - I meant bh2720. I was apparently combining screen names with julie5220

Thanks SStrug - as always, a fantastic party!
The cookies are all amazing - I am also completely enamored with the lemon ones and can't wait to get the recipe.
the lemon ones are amazing. The ones with the strawberry in the middle were amazing too......we have not even made a dent though in the stash and i may or may not have had leftover martini dip for dinner.
and i am glad everyone had fun! thanks for coming!
I had a great time (what did I do?) -- thanks so much for hosting, Mrs(and Mr) Strug!!! Even though I did not bake, I'd love a copy of the cookbook, too --the samples I took home didn't make it past the 270-495 merge!
It was so much fun to see so many people again....and Strug - please include the martini dip in the cookbook, too!
"What is a week-end?"
Ha, yes! Another cookie gtg, another year of me not moving my butt from the kitchen bench. At least I made it down to the basement for the last part of the party
Great seeing everyone! And thanks to all the bakers that provided way, way too much loot for us non-baking mooches. DH was pleasantly surprised at the haul I brought home.
ditto! i walked in and DH was like "i thought you weren't swapping?"
Thanks for opening your home up to us all! Layla and I had an amazing time. Quinton was definitely kicking himself as Layla took first dibs on the cookie haul!
The gingerbread cookies were absolutely amazing with my gingerbread latte this morning!! And special shout out to MrS!! Layla is still swooning...
