I know a lot of you are attending and/or hosting a Cookie Exchange Party this season & the fun begins this week! I’ve had a few requests for ‘easy’ cookie recipes so this should help (and if not, it will bring out your sweet tooth)! Here are 5 cookie recipes I not only LOVE, but LOVE to gift as well! These recipes are classic holiday cookies and I’ll be honest, I think the hardest cookie to make might be the Pinwheel. I want to attempt them though! I LOVE Peppermint! From Gingerbread to Buckeyes, I hope these recipes will ease your stress about what to bake for the party you are attending! Don’t go out and buy cookies – Tis the Season! I have faith you can do this! (maybe that was a pep talk for me)
