50 Cookie Exchange Recipes

I don’t know if you saw all the yummy cookies last week on my blog for my Cookie Exchange Week, but we had some DELICIOUS recipes shared by some of you favorite bloggers.

Cookie exchanges are one of my favorite parts about the holidays. Maybe its because I am a food blogger, maybe its because I love to eat, maybe its the spirit of giving… or maybe its all the above. Whatever it is, there is something so special and fun about cookie exchanges.

Cookie Exchanges are a great way to spread some holiday cheer to your neighbors, friends and family. To make your decision on which cookie to make this year, I have rounded up 50 of the BEST cookie recipes for the holidays! Look it over, you are bound to find this year’s winner (or multiple winners) in here somewhere :)

    I was really excited to see what kinds of fun things I could find here, but I have to say that I`m truly disappointed. Since when are drop cookies for Christmas? Drop cookies are for lunch boxes. Dolloping a bit of icing on them or adding a different kind of fake chocolate chip doesn't make them Christmas-y, sorry.
