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).

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
