Remember the days of tag?When
you'd run and run and run, trying to avoid the one who was "it"? How
you'd get sooooo close to being caught and you'd arch your back to just
squeak by
without being caught? And then you'd run *just* a little closer to the
"it" person, but never close enough to actually get caught. You'd
spend your whole recess trying to be safe. And you'd celebrate with
tired legs and rosy cheeks if you made it the whole recess being 'safe'.
Well,
we have a new type of tag for you. But in this one it is FUN to get
caught and you MUST get caught. Because what we have to offer you is so
delicious that you wouldn't want to NOT be caught. That's right. You
want to be caught right in the middle of our Christmas cookie baking
game of TAG.
Whoever
is "it" bakes cookies and posts the recipe for everyone to enjoy. And
then she tags the next blogger, who will also be in charge of baking and
adding a recipe to
our TAG game. And she'll tag the next. And the next. And the next.
And before you know it, we'll be up to our ears in delicious
cookie-ness. Cookie-ness is the very best state of being during the
holiday season. Cookie-ness really ought to be a word. And now I'm
hungry. Up first is: Jackie from Born Imaginative! (Hey, that's me!)
Please join:
Jackie from Born Imaginative
Staci from Life at Cobble Hill Farm
Tammy from Our Neck of the Woods
Sue from The Little Acre that Could
Daisy from Maple Hill

Mary from Homegrown on the Hill
We'll
be tagging each other for the next three weeks bringing you 12
delicious cookie recipes for your Christmas holiday! We hope that you
check
back with us to see who's going to be the next "tagged" person!!
And
as an added bonus, I thought I'd go ahead and share with you a couple of my holiday "must makes" recipes. A family friend made this a-MAZ-ing cookie sampler annually. It seriously was the best part of our Christmas time eating. Given I live states away, I conned her into giving me her recipes. Yum. (And thanks, JoAnne!) Make sure to check out the other bloggers today. They're linking up some past goodies. Mmm. Make sure to try these listed below. You won't be sorry:
Buckeyes (Gluten Free). Recipe here.
Danish Chocolate Orange Cookies. Recipe here.
Christmas Casserole Cookies (Gluten Free). Recipe here.
And these aren't a part of her recipe collection, but I love them so.
Soft Sugar Frosted Cookies. Recipe here.
Soft Sugar Frosted Cookies. Recipe here.
Okay, now it's your turn. What are your 'must makes'? Or do you think you want to give one of these a whirl? Or tell me how excited you are about this game of cookie tag? Are you PUMPED like me? (I do love my desserts.)
Oh yeah...I almost forgot, I'm IT in this game of TAG. I better get baking. I have three days to deliver a scrumptious recipe to you. I'm on in.
Check back soon!
And do share this post with your friends/family and on your facebook page. I'm betting you have friends who would love "in" on this game of TAG. It's not to miss.
Okay, I'm rambling. I better get baking! (And sampling). Three cheers for Christmas Cookie TAG!
Oh my, I love Christmas cookies. Looking forward to getting some new ideas!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

I'm thinking those buckeyes may be in my not so distant future. Yum!
ReplyDeleteYou have so much enthusiasm for this series! It's infectious. I'll be posting the cookie intro on my blog tomorrow. There is a group of ladies I've been emailing every Saturday for the past 12 weeks to help get organised for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteIn September I promised a Baking Bonanza without actually knowing what I was going to do. This is PERFECT. I'll be sending the ladies links to the cookie tag blogs in their email tomorrow and little reminders to visit the blogs throughout the next 3 weeks. It couldn't have worked out any better! :-)
I pined this for myself and my friend Heidi, she has to eat gluten free.
ReplyDeleteI just started my Christmas cookie list! Glad I came across your post. Thanks for sharing, they all look wonderful!
