A Cookie Party

 

I am a part of a bible study with three other couples where each week we rotate houses, giving us all a chance to make dinner and dessert for each other. At the end of the month its my turn to host and I always go through major nerves as to what to put out for my guests. For supper I knew exactly what I wanted to make, this recipe is my favorite. Dessert is always another challenge, I never know what to make. 

I turned to Joy the Baker for answers because I think she can do no wrong. I have been a fan of her blog for years and over Christmas I received her cookbook Homemade Decadence. Feeling like Spring is here and wanting something more light than heavy (and catering to the need of it being gluten-free) I decided to have a little cookie party. I originally wanted to make three recipes, but my husband got me down to two.

Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies with Creamy Peanut Butter Filling

Strawberry Shortcake Cookies

The oatmeal sandwich cookies were definitely a favorite of mine, however, most everyone fancied the strawberry ones. The were so light and scone like, a perfect treat after a hearty supper.

 

 

I highly recommend her cookbook. There are some pretty yummy recipes in there and out of the ones I have already made - I have yet to be disappointed. xoxo
