Thankful (cookie) Hearts

These two-sided cookie hearts double as place cards AND dessert. 

They're also a delicious way to get everyone talking about what they're thankful for this year.

On one side, you write each guest's name.  Then, give them a food coloring pen and let them write what they're thankful for on the other side.

Their answers just may surprise you.

I'm blogging about how to make them over on Parade.com.

Come see what Mr. E is thankful for this year. ;)

***PS...I am not the first person to make interactive "thankful" cookies.  Check out these beauties from Amanda of i am baker.  I am thankful for her inspiration!***
