Extending the Cookie Exchange Season

December 18, 2008 by evelyn

Like so many of you, I’m baking for and attending a cookie exchange this week. My neighbor and I are making Chai-Almond Cookies and Oreo Truffles. In fact, I feel like almost everyone I know, in offices and neighborhoods around the country, is participating in the some sort of unofficial Great Holiday Cookie Swap. It’s such a fun part of the season, cooking together, gathering with friends and then having delicious treats on hand for family and guests.

It made me think to write this: Don’t forget about the rest of the year. If you’re having fun cooking together and sharing now, think about how great it’ll be to swap soup on a snowy February day, or breads in April or sauces and staples in June. Yum, year-round cooking and sharing.

    Here’s a link to the Chai-Almond Cookies. The cardamom made for a nice, surprising taste, thought they are definitely on the dry (nice with tea or coffee)side.

    What a great idea! I love it. I love to cook but live alone. I cook for myself all the time, especially soup. I am going to attempt to get a group started to do this.

    Thanks for the idea and inspiration

About Alison J. Bermack

It all began when I was a child cooking with my dad, the kitchen a magnet for cooking and camaraderie, a refuge from adolescence. I spent countless hours chopping, sautéing and simmering my way through childhood. And now, with three kids of my own, I’m still chopping, but this time through their childhood and often with friends.
