This week, Janice and I blogged a new recipe for Lightened-Up Seven Layer Bars. Janice brought them to her annual neighborhood cookie swap and they were a hit. Our secret ingredient: chick peas.

They have great colors that work really well. Also, remember that icing will dry DARKER than when it is wet. Another tip is if you want flavored icing, you can add some cranberry juice or other colored juice to make your icing extra red.Mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09715019686978266807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390158651131706564.post-63372130321833054202011-12-11T19:25:40.026-08:002011-12-11T19:25:40.026-08:00What kind of food coloring do you use? I seem to only get pink when I try to color something red and I really want to make the pinwheel cookies.

I put two cookies in a bag tied with ribbon and hung them on a tabletop Christmas tree with ornament hooks. It looked so great with ribbon loops and a lemon &quot;star&quot; on top! (Just make sure you use jam WITHOUT fruit syrup or it&#39;ll just run out of the cookie and make a mess.) Happy Cookie Exchange!<br /><br />http://www.bhg.com/recipe/cookies/lemon-blueberry-fans/Emily Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13977364651345605075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390158651131706564.post-6109135534173004102011-12-05T15:06:50.241-08:002011-12-05T15:06:50.241-08:00Hi Mandy, I&#39;m hosting a Cookie Exchange Linky Party on my blog.
