Cookie Swap v.2

Last night I hosted another post-holiday craziness cookie swap!  We ended up with a smaller group than last year, but still had a good time catching up over some delicious treats.

Smoky Tahini Peas, Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms, Moroccan Chickpeas

I wanted to make a few light, savory appetizers to accompany good conversation :)  Since I had a busy week in lab, my aim was to use things I already had in my kitchen and wouldn't take too long to prepare.  I ended up with peas in a smoky tahini dressing, crab-stuffed mushrooms and Moroccan spiced chickpeas.

We had quite the sweet lineup:
     Meyer Lemon Shortbread from Jen (Tiny Urban Kitchen)
     Almond Macaroons w/Chocolate Ganache from Elina (Healthy & Sane, Russian Bites)
     my Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Roll Cookies
     Pretzel and Graham Cracker Chocolate Bars from Kerstin (Cake, Batter & Bowl)
     Lemon Ricotta Cookies from Bridget (Yogurt & Berries)
     Peanut Butter Butterscotch Rice Krispie Treats from Cara (Cara's Cravings)

Cara, Kerstin, Jen, Bridget, Elina and I

I had an awesome time with these ladies, maybe you'll be able to attend next year?
