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).

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
