Christmas wrap-up: part 2

This year Jon decided to participate in his work's annual Cookie Exchange.  There were only 6 people who signed up, he being the only male.  We decided to finish off the spritz cookie dough I had made the previous weekend at my Pampered Chef Open House.  They were just so easy to make a bunch and they taste so yummy!

For this cookie exchange, each set of 6 cookies had to be individually wrapped.  I drove my husband a bit crazy because I took the time to put them in small, clear treat bags with festive scrapbook paper with zig zagged edges.  Super easy, but so nice.  (He was slightly embarrassed, but they got lots of compliments!)
