Well, the holidays are always something to look forward to. Family, food and fun and for a select group a dorky tradition that was started 12 years ago when a couple of freshman girls burned their first batch of Christmas cookies. I can't say we have improved much, but its always entertaining. Here are a few of the gems that came out of this years party:

These swirl cookies are pretty simple, I'm not one for fancy recipes so here is the edited version:
-Take a ball of cookie dough about the size of your fist and put a few drops of one color of food coloring on it and kneed it in. You may need gloves or baggies so your hands don't get dyed.
-Repeat 3-4 times with different colors.
-Place each layer on top of one another and spread each layer out. Try to make it all into a rectangle shape.
-Roll it up like a wrap.
-Put in the freezer for 45 mins or so.
-Use a knife to cut into small pinwheels.
-Place them on the side to bake.
