Christmas Cookie Exchange

A Christmas cookie exchange is a fun and delicious way to celebrate the holiday season. It's an excellent opportunity to try new recipes, share your favorite holiday cookies, and spend time with friends and family.

Here's how a cookie exchange works:

1. Invite friends, family, and neighbors to participate in the exchange. Ask each person to bring a batch of their favorite Christmas cookies and copies of the recipe.
2. Set up a table or tables where people can display their cookies. Make sure there is enough space for everyone's cookies and provide some plates, napkins, and utensils for people to use.
3. As people arrive, have them set out their cookies on the table. Encourage everyone to try a little bit of each cookie and to take copies of the recipes they like.
4. Once everyone has arrived, allow people to start exchanging cookies. They can take one of each kind of cookie or mix and match to create their own personalized assortment of the perfect Christmas cookies box.
5. Enjoy the cookies and conversation, and remember to take some cookies home to enjoy later.

How To Make the Best Ginger Cookies

Ginger is a delicious and festive ingredient that can add holiday cheer and flavor to Christmas cookies. Here is a simple recipe for ginger cookies that you can try at home:

To make the best soft gingerbread cookies, follow the recipe carefully, and use high-quality ingredients. Here are a few tips to help you make the best gingerbread cookies:

1. Use unsalted butter and high-quality molasses for the best flavor.
2. Use fresh warm spices for the best flavor. Ground cinnamon, ginger, brown sugar and cloves will add warm and spicy flavors to your cookies.
3. Don't overmix the dough. Mix the ingredients until they are well combined, but be careful not to overwork the dough or the cookies will be tough.
4. Roll the dough to the desired thickness before cutting out the cookies with cookie cutters. If you like your gingerbread cookies to be soft and chewy, roll the dough to about ¼ inch in thickness. If you prefer a crispier cookie, divide dough and roll out to about ⅛ inch thickness.
5. Bake the fragrant cookies until they are set and soft in the middle. Overbaking the cookies will make them hard and crispy, so keep an eye on them as they bake.

By following these tips, you should be able to make the best soft gingerbread cookies.

Ingredients and Substitues

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• ¼ cup molasses
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• ½ teaspoon ground cloves
• ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy in a large mixing bowl. Beat in the egg and molasses.
3. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment to mix.
4. Scoop the dough with a cookie scoop, and place the small balls and place them on the prepared cookie sheet. Leave enough room, about 2 inches of space, between each cookie. 
5. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These ginger cookies are delicious and perfect for the holiday season. You can decorate them with icing or sprinkles if you like, or enjoy them as is. They are a great addition to any Christmas cookie platter and will surely be a hit with your family and friends.

WHAT IS #COOKBLOGSHARE?

CookBlogShare is a community for food bloggers to share recipes and foodie posts and generally support the food blogging community. The community is centred around the #CookBlogShare linky.

It is a wonderful way for a wide range of food writers, recipe creators and bloggers to come together and share each other’s recipes.

The linky is now hosted regularly by Sisley from Sew White & Chloe from Feast Glorious Feast. New members are always welcome to join so make sure you invite your other food blogger friends!

The last linky was hosted by Chloe from Feast Glorious Feast who put together a collection of The Best Festive Treats.

Each week the host chooses a selection of recipes which have been submitted during the previous week to showcase.

This week, I'm sharing a round up of 37 crispy and chewy ginger cookies enough for all 31 days of Christmas Cookies indulgence!
