I always carry one to our ladies Cookie Exchange; I also love the fact that when I do carry it somewhere there's never a duplicate. Use your imagination when selecting cookies, I use the regular or chocolate graham cracker cookie sticks , and sugar cookies. You can also use you imagination in deciding what to roll it in, candies, nuts, coconut, crushed cookies...Enjoy ya'll.
