Whether you need an idea for a Christmas Cookie Exchange or you are just making cookies for family and friends these recipes are perfect for celebrating the holiday season.
I love Christmas cookies! Well really cookies of any kind, but Christmas cookies are always extra special. Some of my favorite memories are of times spent in the kitchen making goodies galore for Christmas. I still remember about 8 years ago when I was first introduced to the cookie exchange. I had never heard of something so genius! You make a batch of cookies and leave with a little of everything! It was like I went to the cookie buffet and hit the jackpot!
One of the best parts of a cookie exchange to me is finding a really fun and unique cookie to bring. I love scouring the internet looking for the perfect find that is unique, but MOST importantly absolutely delicious! For me that usually involves lots of chocolate and if it has peanut butter too, well that is a pretty fantastic bonus! This year I decided to share some of my favorite finds with you! So if you are headed to a cookie swap or just want something different to make for your friends, family, or co-workers, I’ve got you covered! If you try one out, I would love to know! Make sure you leave me a note in the comments. Enjoy!
