Baking Spirits Bright 🍪🎁
A sweet gift guide for your cookie swap.
When we saw that Ben Mims, one of our favorite food writers, had written a book on cookies, we knew it was time for a party.
A cookie swap party, to be exact. What's a cookie swap, you may ask? Let Martha Stewart fill you in. "If there's a dessert that speaks most to the holiday season, it's cookies" says Stewart. "That's why cookie swaps are so popular this time of the year. Not only is sharing and swapping cookies with friends and family fun, but you get to leave with a selection of treats to enjoy and new recipes to try."
Turns out, Mims isn’t the only one getting in on the cookie craze this season. National Cookie Day is officially December 4th and, to celebrate, big names across the board are cooking up cookies. Bath and beauty brand Native brought back its limited-edition Sugar Cookie scent, The New York Times released its annual Cookie Week Christmas cookie spread and even Dunkin’ is introducing the brand’s first-ever holiday sugar cookie crafted to look just like a Strawberry Frosted Sprinkle donut.
To get in on the craze, here are some things guaranteed to make your cookie swap a sweet success:
