There are so many joyful holidays to celebrate at this time of year and there is an age-old tradition that I just adore…the holiday cookie swap. Cookie swaps are great for all sorts of communities; your neighborhood, your co-workers, your children’s schools or playgroups, just to name a few.

The process of baking cookies can be just as fun as the swapping itself. To get you started, here are some recipes to put you in the cookie-making mood!
