Wednesday was our second annual cookie swap at my work place-sweet!!! When I proposed the idea last year, it initially was greeted with some trepidation (why would I swap my cookies, and how do I decide what kind to bring?). But it was such a success that this year my co-workers were quite enthusiastic about rolling up their sleeves and rolling out some dough!
Knowing you will be going home with two dozen+ assorted home made delicious cookies is quite an incentive! I found this book, which I thought might have some great swapping recipes, along with tips for a fun and successful swap. Although we did skip the recipes for Juicy Sangria and Fresh Lime Margaritas-tequila is rather frowned upon in the middle of a work day.
Then I turned to my holiday Pinterest board for recipes, and I found this one for cute reindeer pretzel cookies. 
Which I did not follow exactly. So they came out like this. 
Not very pretty, very yummy, but sooo not pretty! They would be right at home in the land of misfit toys– am I right? For my other selection (we each brought in two dozen to swap), I went with a traditional sugar cookie, drizzled with icing and decorated with sprinkles.
My co-workers’ yummy cookies included: Chocolate Coconut Disasters (per the baker, but they were really awesome!)
Peppermint Bark
Chocolate Dipped Macaroons
Peanut Butter Rolo Cookies
I provided the trays, cello wrap, ribbon and the little gingerbread guys for gift tags.
When we were finished, each participant walked away with a tray filled with variety of cookies to bring home-yum!
