Rachel had an awesome cookie party last year! The kiddos went crazy decorating! She sent out evites, and got busy baking (it helps that she has two ovens and dishwashers). All her guests enjoyed their creations along with hot chocolate. Her sugar cookie recipe listed above really is amazing! So, treat your neighborhood to a 'cookie party' this year!

how cool - I want to go to a cookie party - I will do something like this for my kid - it will be a small party though - like him and me kind of small...
I miss doing things like this with my kids, but will be making some for an upcoming event! Nice post!
This is such a cute idea. It would be great for birthdays too. Thanks for sharing it. I'm so going to borrow it.
