on 6/30/2006 Every Christmas our Bunco group has a cookie swap. I wrap each batch of cookies in the see through
Christmas bags and tie with curly ribbon, then attach the recipe index card to the bottom to make bag stand up. Each person just picks up a bag and she's ready to go.

on 11/22/2005 Buy a bag of the Murray Butter Cookies - the ones with the centers cut out and shaped like a circle with a pretty edge. Use the ready-made tube frosting in green, and ice each cookie around the border. Add red hots to decorate, etc. Easy!
