11 Perfect Cookie Swap Recipes
Simple Bites

Everyone loves cookies, but eating 10 of the same cookie in one day can get exhausting. So why not gather up some friends and make a bunch of different kinds of cookies! At a cookie swap, everyone gets to take home a few of each type. That way, you’ll never get bored with your cookie binges. Here are 11 recipes (courtesy of AllRecipes.com) to get your party started.

1. "Soft Christmas Cookies"


Start simple, with some good old fashioned frosted Christmas cookies.

2. "Molasses Sugar Cookies"


Moving up in the world, let's update that old molasses cookie by making it a sugar cookie.

3. "Cranberry Orange Cookies"


For when you want to pretend to be healthy, these cookies are fruit-based! Sort of.

4. "Peanut Butter Cup Cookies"


An ancient classic, and a prerequisite for any cookie party (so long as no one is allergic to peanuts, of course).

5. "Raspberry and Almond Shortbread Thumbprints"


My personal favorite, and you get to play with the dough!

6. "Eileen's Spicy Gingerbread Men"


I don't know who Eileen is, but she has discovered the best use of ginger yet.

7. "Chocolate Mint Candies Cookies"


Just. Look. At. That. Picture.

8. "Chocolate Crinkles"


Chris Kringle? Try Chris Crinkle.

9. "Chef John's Russian Tea Cakes"


They're so small that you can eat them by the dozen and it doesn't really count!

10. "Date Nut Pinwheel Cookies"


These are a bit more ambitious, but well worth it.

11. "Peppermint Meringues"


And last, the most delicious and ambitious of all.

Pro tip: bring plenty of extra ingredients (and plenty of wine).

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
