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).

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
