Holiday Cookies

I’m not sure why cookies become so popular during the Christmas season, but I’m not complaining. Give them away as gifts, throw a cookie exchange party, or eat them yourself. Last weekend, I had the pleasure of attending my girlfriend’s cookie exchange party. Funny thing was, I didn’t bring cookies … I brought olives. Odd, I know, but since I was an out-of-town guest, I figured a little salty to counterbalance the sweets would be good.

Here are some of my favorite cookies and the recipes; Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, Peanut Butter Cookies, and Gingersnaps. If you’re looking for something a little more festive, check out the cookies I tested for O Magazine’s December 2011 issue, these Peppermint Stick cookies are delicious and beautiful.
