#1 question that is coming up right now:
“What should I make for my cookie exchange?”
(Funny story… I have never been to a cookie exchange. I do love the concept… trading recipes and eating cookies does sound particularly awesome. Perhaps I shall host one next year!)
In honor of the holidays… here is a selection of options that I have blogged about in the past that are great for a cookie exchange (with some 2011 updates):
Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars/Cups (cups recipe at bottom of post)
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cake Balls (they’re almost a cookie)
Homemade Crunchie Bars AKA Chocolate Covered Honeycomb (also not quite a cookie, but I think candy can count for an Exchange)
Chocolate Coffered Toffee with Salt (Candies for Cookies)
2011 Update:
White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
Homemade Salted Caramels (this photo was done in a mold and topped with chocolate)
Not into cookies/candies but still need a good dessert?
Pie Variation #1 (Apple, with detailed instructions on making pie crust)
Pie Variation #2 (Cranberry Apple Pie- Prepared Crust)
2011 additions:
Pumpkin Cheesecake: (and how to water-bathe it)
Confetti Cupcakes with Bailey’s Frosting
If anyone does use any of these recipes for an Exchange, just give them this blog URL and ask them to tell all their friends! K? 🙂
I will continue to add to this post as I post more dessert recipes. So bookmark it or find it in the “Best of the Best” tab on the title bar.
