" A group of 12 women get together each year for a Christmas Cookie Club to exchange cookies, gossip and life events. The club has rules, such as no chocolate chip cookies after a large number of members all brought them, and a Head Cookie Bitch to keep things in line. Each woman's story is introduced by her cookie recipe for the party. They are all having some form of life event, from a daughter with a risky pregnancy, to decisions about having children, to infidelity, financial challenges, and new loves. The gathering helps them bridge some of their problems and try to repair broken friendships. I enjoyed looking at the recipes, but found the format of the book a little challenging at times. "
