Don't you hate when you remember five minutes before a holiday party begins that you forgot to bring something? And then maybe you have the wherewithal to remember that the host loves sauvignon blanc so you find a liquor store to grab a bottle so that you aren't empty-handed. But what if the party is on a Sunday and you live in Minnesota so the stores are closed. You are out of luck...and irritated by those ridiculous blue laws.

I have a better idea. Make some beautiful cookies (a cookie press makes any cookie prettier), cover them with sparkly sugar, throw them in the freezer and bring a small box to each party you are invited to.
