You’ve been invited to a cookie swap and you’re about to freak out in 5… 4… 3…2…
Cookies need not be complicated nor labor intensive.
Personally, I find the idea of making seven dozen cookies horrifying — and I love to bake. So when I saw friends who were excited at the prospect of walking away from a party with a huge tub of cookies but completely freaking out about what to make… I thought, we need a round up.
Cookies need not be complicated nor labor intensive. Grab some flour, butter and sugar — ’cause I’ve got some recipes that will impress your friends and leave you feeling confident, courtesy of your favorite DC Food Bloggers!
Now get yourself some bourbon, because the only way you’re going to make it through seven batches of cookies is by having a good stiff drink by your side. And your iTunes.
