Christmas Cookie Sugar High

I hosted a mini-cookie exchange today, and it was a lot of fun.  I decided to try a new recipe- Oreo Truffles, and they are delicious!  Crushed Oreo mixed with Cream Cheese covered in chocolate.  How can you go wrong?

I also made a more traditional cookie.  We always referred to them as Snowballs in my family, but they're called all sorts of things- Russian Teacakes, Mexican Wedding Cakes, Swedish Teacakes. 
The kids played for a while and then went on a sugar binge.  It was like Christmas a little early for them with so many options.  Here's a little sampling of cookies......

In case the sugar in the cookies wasn't enough we had a little hot chocolate station for the liquid sugar fix.  I know Nathan was in heaven although he wasn't much into the hot chocolate.  He just wanted cookies and more cookies.

And here's a look at the Table Runner actually on the table.......
