My third annual ‘Holiday Cookie Party’ is in the books, and I am blown away by my friends’ creative talents! Thank you so much to everyone who attended, baked stunning cookies, and took home a beautiful cookie box to kick off the holiday season!
If I counted correctly, we had about 40 guests and 31 (!) different varieties of homemade cookies. I’ve had so many questions about the different cookies, and I’m working on compiling a list of all of the varieties/recipes/sources.
My contributions to the table this year were csaffitz’s Mortadella Cookies, jesseszewczyk’s Chocolate-Dipped Mocha Madeleines, jesseszewczyk’s Campari Shortbread Cookies with Crunchy Orange Sugar, renatoinbrooklyn’s Honey-Ricotta Black and Whites, and zoebakes’ Almond Macaroons!
Wishing everyone a fabulous holiday season filled with many, many cookies! 🍪

Everything looks fantastic!
What a dream to participate in an event like this!!
This is so cool. How does one have all the friends?!
This spread looks amazingly delicious! 😋
I want to go to a cookie party! 😹😅😍They sound like so much fun and I’m sure the delicious cookies make it even better!
We’ve done one for 15 years but had to skip this year because no dates worked for the majority of people! It’s usually one of my favorite events of the year…we talked about having it in January though.
You guys did a great job! I’d go to town on those M&M sandwich cookies and your black and white cookies!
Those mortadella cookies look fantastic! I’ve saved the NYT recipe to try!
This is incredible! How are the mortadella cookies? Im so intrigued by them!
I don’t know where this is but I want to be there.
Mortadella cookies are darling 😚
that potato chips shortbread sounds like an interesting combo 🤔
Campari shortbread? I have to find that recipe!
Wowww. Can I join??
I would love this so much with Samara joy playing ❤️what a spread
I feel like I’m looking at heaven
I love everything about this!!!
I definitely thought to myself, “huh, those cookies sure do look like mortadella” then I zoomed in and I was like wtf 😂
This is wonderful! Every time I go to a cookie exchange or party I take the time to make some beautiful cookies. Everyone else brings burnt, bad or weird ones.
Are the mortadella cookies worth trying to find almond paste?
lol those pilsbury take and bake cookies next to these masterpieces 😂
Isn’t this a repeat of the post a couple of days ago…
Bacon chocolate chip cookies?! I’m intrigued
What is the single row next to the M&Ms? Looks like cherry and orange 😋 it’s bringing nostalgia for me.
Those mortadella cookies are visually my favorite thing ever!!!
This is amazing and exactly the kind of cookie exchange I’d want to join. I get frustrated making time-consuming and beautiful (not to mention expensive) cookies only to have others bring those cookies with a Hershey kiss stuck in the middle (no offense to people who make those) or store bought. What a beautiful event! Jealous!!
Cookie Party 🤝 Samara Joy 🫡
the way i would eat every single type of those cookies. i am NOT picky.
Everything is so pretty
I follow the chef who made the pistachio ones! He’s been trying a cookie a day and giving a review! He said he fruit cake ones were good
You’re inspiring me!
Wow! Beautiful!
I want the cinnamon roll cookie recipe 😪
Ohh I saw the Mortadella Cookies recipe pop up this year. How are they?
My invite must of gotten lost in the mail!
Dirty chai cookie?!?? Oh my word 🤤
I’m horrendously offended that I wasn’t invited
boy would I have a GREAT time there. spread looks stupendous!! everyone should be very proud of their work. 🙂 thanks for the post
The organization here and beauty on the bakes is soooo very satisfying.
I need the Chocolate Banana & Pecan recipe.
Cookies look amazing, but I just see a germ exchange. The pandemic fundamentally altered my ability to enjoy events like this, unfortunately. 💔
You built a solid spread. I’d only streamline portion sizes, but the overall workflow reads efficient and guest friendly.
Omg
