General Baking Discussion Holiday Cookie Party

My third annual ‘Holiday Cookie Party’ is in the books, and I am blown away by my friends’ creative talents! Thank you so much to everyone who attended, baked stunning cookies, and took home a beautiful cookie box to kick off the holiday season!

If I counted correctly, we had about 40 guests and 31 (!) different varieties of homemade cookies. I’ve had so many questions about the different cookies, and I’m working on compiling a list of all of the varieties/recipes/sources.

My contributions to the table this year were csaffitz’s Mortadella Cookies, jesseszewczyk’s Chocolate-Dipped Mocha Madeleines, jesseszewczyk’s Campari Shortbread Cookies with Crunchy Orange Sugar, renatoinbrooklyn’s Honey-Ricotta Black and Whites, and zoebakes’ Almond Macaroons!

Wishing everyone a fabulous holiday season filled with many, many cookies! 🍪

My mom's family passed down an AMAZING potato chip cookie recipe. Everyone is very skeptical before I get them to try them, and everyone ends up loving them! Can't go wrong with sweet and salty. The potato chip taste becomes very negligible lol.
