The Great Cookie Swap Extravaganza




The cookie - a bite size dessert that can be so versatile and delicious. What a brilliant invention! Of course, the brain trust of Martha Stewart, takes it to the next level with the idea of celebrating the cookie through a cookie swap (http://www.marthastewart.com/photogallery/cookie-swap). Last weekend, I hosted my first ever cookie swap extravaganza and it was a smashing success! People busted out their A-game cookie recipes including: black and white iced shortbread, almond Spanish cookies called Polvorones, double chocolate, cake batter cookies, butterscotch chip, cranberry chocolate, chocolate sprinkled macaroons and oatmeal chocolate walnut. It was all amazing, but the best part was eating the leftover cookies for days! I highly recommend a cookie swap to anyone who likes cookies (who doesn't?)
