Visions of sugar plums...or cookies

Happy Thursday everyone. It is another exciting day here with our week long Cookie Blog Carnival. It has been great to see all of the yummy treats everyone is preparing in their kitchens. So many unique and different recipes.

Our first blogger today is Amanda from the Best Momma on the Block Blog. Isn't that a cute blog name? Amanda is a Twitter buddy of mine. You can find her on Twitter @caffeinated_mom Today she is making Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies. They sound like something that would be on Santa's naughty list, don't they? So you know they have to be good. LOL http://thebestmomontheblock.blogspot.com

The second blogger I'm featuring today is Iris from the Mama Says Blogging Team. She has a cream cheese Rugelach recipe she is doing. Ok, I've never had a rugelach before, so I am intrigued and can't wait to see this. I'm a sucker for recipes with cream cheese. So mosey on over and check this one out too. http://mamasays.us/blog/
