Are you in need a good Cookie Recipe (or a few dozen good cookie recipes)? Well no worries, bloggers from around the country have searched and searched to find their best cookie for the year in order to send out yummy cookies to other bloggers …

One look at this layered dip/spread, and you know it is screaming HOLIDAYS at you. Then one taste of this layered dip/spread and its each man for himself. Everything about this is 100% delicious and it might end up causing this year’s family fight as everyone tries to get some of it (consider yourself warned).
Forget about the fights that might happen though, because this totally needs to be a part of your life – and the fights will just be a memory of the holidays for years to come (but its ok, because any negative memories will be overshadowed by the happy memories of this dip/spread)!

These cookies have just the right (not overwhelming at all) bit of pumpkin flavor so don’t pass them up just because it is after Thanksgiving and you feel like it is too late to enjoy pumpkin or something silly like that. As a side note here, it is never too late to enjoy pumpkin & these cookies will be loved/devoured by all that you serve it to!
