MDO Cookie Exchange

Monday Kenny's school is having a mommy cookie exchange. They have requested we each bring 3 dozen cookies, the recipes and an empty container. I decided to make gingerbread cookies and whoopie pies. The Whoopie Pies came out pretty tasty and I was impressed with myself. I did have a little trouble with the gingerbread cookies, but only because of the baking pan I was using, which actually had shapes of gingerbread men. I of course could not get them to shape the right way. Oh well, they still taste yummy. Here's the Whoopie Pie picture and recipe I will be taking with me tomorrow. The Gingerbread cookie was out of a box (ok so I cheated on that one) Shhhhhh!
