Wow - I bet that was WAY more fun than a trip to the mall - looks like a great group of friends! Isn't it just too fun when it's a total surprise? I almost didn't make it to my bridal shower because they had told me it was a "Home Interiors" party (don't know if they still have those or not), where you buy artwork for the walls and stuff. I had gone to one too many of those parties and didn't really care for the merchandise, so that morning I told my fiance I wasn't going to go after all. He kind of scolded me and said that wouldn't be very nice since I had been invited, etc., and finally "guilted" me into going (since he knew what it really was)! It took quite a few minutes for it to actually sink in, after they all yelled surprise, that it was a shower for me!

Karen - I have a cookie press that's been in my pantry for YEARS that I have never used - I would love to "christen" it with your recipe!
