You open your email and there it is … you friend/family member/coworker is having a cookie swap. If your initial thought is to panic or think about heading to the grocery store for a pre-packaged box of cookies, take a deep breath and think again! Cookies are easy to make, and these recipes will make you the hit of the cookie swap.
- Sugar cookies! They are a classic for a reason. These cookies are easy to make, done in no time, and you can decorate them to make them even more festive.
- Gingerbread cookies aren’t as easy, but they are so worth the effort! The best part? Your home will smell amazing as these beauties bake.
- What’s better than a big batch of butter cookies? Nothing! These are sure to please your guests.
- A hint of jam and a dusting of powdered sugar make these thumbprint cookies the star of any holiday gathering.
- Feeling adventurous? Want to tackle something spectacular? Macarons aren’t for beginners, but if you can master this recipe, you can expect to be invited to many, many more cookie parties.
Whether you tackle the humble sugar cookie or the magnificent macaron, you can make a terrific batch of cookies and have a great time while doing them! (Make two batches … leave one at home to enjoy while you binge-watch holiday movies. We won’t say a thing!)
