CBS Films has acquired the feature film rights to the publisher’s upcoming release “The Christmas Cookie Club” by Ann Pearlman.

The Christmas Cookie Club centers around an annual holiday celebration in which 12 women trade their home-made cookies at the most anticipated party of the year. As the evening unfolds, the friends bare their personal adventures of the past twelve months.   The open, honest and sometimes emotional revelations connect these women through unwavering friendship and support. 

The book “The Christmas Cookie Club” will be published in hardcover by Atria Books in November 2009. 

Cookie Club relates to the importance of friendship. The story is a unique way of illustrating that bond of friendship, and weaving the rich stories of these women into this modern holiday ritual, makes for a very special piece of material.  I think I’ll take a bite.
