And now about those cookies...
We are going to start a new Loft tradition this year. Each year downtown Palm Springs has a Festival of Lights parade... it's beautiful and attracts legions of people all gathered along the sidewalks to view the dazzling display of floats. So this year we decided to host our first annual LOFT Cookie Exchange party after the parade. Hoping lots of people bring their favorite cookies and we all end up with a fantastic collection of treats!
Hosting a cookie exchange party is a great way to stock up on holiday cookies without having to bake for days and days and days, regardless of whether or not you have a parade in your town; just send out the evite, whip up some eggnog (recipe coming soon), wassail punch (recipe coming soon), and grannies favorite holiday cookie - VIOLA - you have yourself a cookie exchange!
To inspire you, this is an amazing picture of cookies Jake took on Sunday. My good friend and fellow foodie Ray Dallago is the artist behind these treats. He made a ton of them, so I expect more next time we see him!
