Sweet homemade treats are a staple of the Christmas season, and there’s no better way to spread the joy of holiday baking than by hosting a cookie swap. Ask each guest to bake a batch of holiday cookies to exchange with the group, then fill your tins with a few from each batch. Everyone bakes once but gets to take home an assortment of goodies – and probably a few new recipes to try, too. The only hard part is deciding what kind of cookie to bring, and that’s where the following recipes come in. Starring traditional holiday flavors such as cranberries, peppermint, chocolate, peanut butter and more, these recipes are sure to satisfy all your cookie cravings this season.
