I love cookies so much that for a few years I hosted a Christmas Cookie Exchange Party. \u00a0It was great &#8211; I made 6 dozen cookies and came away with 6 dozen different cookies. A favorite that was discovered at one of the exchange parties are Oreo Balls (crushed Oreo cookies mixed with cream cheese and dipped in chocolate).
