Holiday Cookie Recipe Exchange

My good blogging friend Anne at Comfort Food Warms Your Soul is having a Holiday Cookie Recipe Exchange.

In her own words, "Happy Holidays to all of you! I love to bake during the holidays. It is a tradition in my family, I have great memories from when I was growing up. We had a schedule on the bulletin board so everyone knew what their jobs where for the baking process. We boxed them and passed them out to friends and family. I still do that with my daughter and I love to give out cookies to our friends. I am hoping you might share some recipes on your blogs so we can all try each others treats."

I had hoped to find time to make a batch of these cookies so I could post photos but it just did not work out for this week. This isn't a fancy cookie but is a quick and easy recipe.

1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup butter
1 cup cooking oil
