The girls on the RI Nest board recently did a Secret Baker Swap. I signed up and sent out one of my favorite recipes for Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies.
I in turn received these wonderful Molasses Sugar Cookies from Diana. It's so funny that Diana was my secret baker - we're always back and forth on email about things and she was just accepted to do the Art Show at my office with her wonderful photographs.
These are the cookies she sent - they were out of this world - I highly recommend them - and so do my neighbors and co-workers and husband!
