Christmas Cookie Exchange

Are you ready for some Christmas Cookies?  I certainly am!  I am excited to team up with a great group of bloggers to share cookie recipes today, like our own little virtual cookie exchange party, full of great Christmas Cookie recipes, and you are invited!

Every year I make a few of our favorite cookie recipes, and add some new recipes into the mix.   This Christmas Cookie Exchange, featuring recipes from some of your favorite bloggers, is perfect for finding and adding new recipes to your cookie recipe collection.

I want to share my absolute all time favorite cookie recipe with you, my Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookies.

If you love peanut butter and chocolate, you NEED these cookies.  I mean look at what goes into them!

Seriously, the BEST cookies.  I’ve been making them for probably close to 15 years, and my family and friends look forward to them each Christmas.  You can get the recipe for them right here.    I also wanted to link up to some of my other favorite recipes for Christmas cookies.

I also have three delicious shortbread cookies that you can make from a single batch of dough.  This is such a great time saver, make the dough, divide it into three, add some mix-ins, and you have three totally different shortbread cookies!

And while we are talking about cookies, it’s natural to talk about milk.  Cookies and milk may be a classic holiday combo, but there are many that will have to go without either this holiday season.  That’s where Cookies For Santa’s Milk Drive comes in.  Did you know that milk is one of the top nutritious items requested by food bank clients, yet it’s rarely donated.

The Great American Milk Drive is a national campaign to give much needed nutrient-rich milk to millions of hungry families.   You can learn more at the Great American Milk Drive, and you can please join me in donating at least one gallon of milk this holiday season.

Now let’s party!   Cookie party that is!   You will want to check out all of these great recipes from bakers and bloggers around the web!
