I was invited and participated in my first holiday cookie exchange!<\/p>\n

Almost all the cookies on the table ready for exchange…<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

How it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Bake 6-8 dozen holiday cookies, and package them up in 6 or 12 – depending on what the cookie is, how many you bring, what fits best etc.<\/p>\n

2. All invited parties gather at one location on the designated cookie exchange night<\/p>\n

3. All extras, burnt cookies, broken pieces etc. are set out for sampling<\/p>\n

4. All ready-to-exchange-cookie packages are displayed for later exchange<\/p>\n

5. After some visiting, drinking, snacking and sampling….<\/p>\n

6. Each person introduces the cookies that he or she brought… and the exchange commences!<\/p>\n

At the end of the evening, you leave with as many cookies as you arrived with, but so many more, beautiful and tasty varieties to enjoy.\u00a0Happy Holidays!!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I made these two:<\/p>\n

Potato chip cookies<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve made these before and have been very happy with them. Of course, right!?–they have potato chips in and<\/em> on top of them!!! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

golden brown and you can see the toasted pecans<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chocolate Rugelach<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This was a new recipe for me, but I was happy with how they turned out. The dough was nice and flaky, and the Ghiradelli chocolate on the inside was of course quite nice as well. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

chilled dough, ready to roll. Each dough quarter makes 12 rolls according to the recipe. I ended up making 8 each so that they were slightly larger…<\/p><\/div>\n

dessert pizza?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"IMG_8283\"<\/a>
