Christmas Cookie Exchange

December 13, 2013 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 9 Comments

Almond cookies, made by me.

Good morning! I have just returned last night from a week in Paris which I will tell you about after I have time to sort through my photos. As I have said in the past it is my favorite time of the year to visit, everything is decorated for the holidays and there are trees and treats everywhere. The only bad part about it is that upon my return I realized that I have a million things to do before the holidays.

Today though I am thinking about cookies. It is no secret that I love baking, and at the holidays even more so. 

Speculous from Martha Stewart

Although I frequently make my favorites each year, I do enjoy trying new things which is why I think a cookie exchange is a great idea.

What could be more fun than a party with  your friends, a few holiday cocktails and some tasty treats? Especially party where you get to take home dozens and dozens of new cookies and the recipes too.

 Do you ever attend or perhaps host your own cookie exchange?

What are your favorite cookies to bake for the holidays? I would love it if your would share your favorite cookies recipe in the comments and if you have a link to the recipe even better.

I am baking cookies today and unpacking my shopping from Paris, then trying to finalize Christmas plans. I hope that you have a great day!
