This is a sweet/sweat story that is worth adding to your list to read for next year's holiday season. My one negative thought was the chapters that described ingredients and gave the history of chocolate, sugar and so on - I thought this was a little weird and would have preferred maybe more back story to the characters than these inserted chapters. -Buy The Christmas Cookie Club (Christmas Cookie Club 1) book online at best prices in India on Bookish Santa and enjoy Free Shipping. With recipes for the cookies that are shared at the party, the reader was able to be a part of the cookie club. All while kicking off the holiday season - what a charming tradition. From a new co-grandma to a friend from high school, she gathers 12 women each year to exchange cookies, stories and their lives. I spied this at the bookstore right before Thanksgiving. Everyone has to bring a dish, a bottle of wine, and their stories.
Marnie has quite a group of ladies that surround her. It’s the Christmas Cookie Club Every year on the first Monday of the December, Marnie & twelve of her closest girlfriends gather in the evening with batches of beautifully wrapped homemade cookies.
As I prepare for my first cookie exchange this year, I loved reading how organized and committed these ladies were to this yearly tradition. The friends were diverse and from all walks of life which gave the book a realism because we pick up friends in our lives through many different ways. Kritters Thoughts: From the beginning, I fell in love with Marnie the main character and her group of friends. Here's Cassi reading Jennifer's 2013 story, which she asked Cassi to read for her.Goodreads: A riveting and highly commercial debut novel about the rich and complicated friendships between twelve women who meet for a cookie exchange. Since I made a molasses cookie, and molasses is known for its famously slow drizzle, I talked about my very slow-healing (4-6 months, still working on it) stress fracture that's prevented me from running since August, essentially putting my life on hold. Three hours of baking later, I had 12 dozen Chewy Spiced Molasses Cookies from The Vegan Cookie Connoisseur (see yesterday's post).Īt the party, we went around the room and talked about our cookie and how it related to our past year. I didnt like the book, but it does open up many avenues for discussion. I did my share of whining and cursing Cassi while I was baking on Saturday. (Here's Cassi's recap on her blog, The Pretty In Pink Vegan). Fortunately, one girl dropped out at the last minute this year, so we only had to make 12 dozen.
Not sure if you can make out the tiny words, but this says each lady must make 13 DOZEN cookies! That's 156 cookies! That's a dozen for each girl at the party and one dozen for a charity of Cassi's choice.
