i wasn’t going to be able to make the annual cookie swap home in florida (boo) so i decided to host one of my own up north.

we snacked on a charcuterie platter and crudites, ham and cheese puffs, brie and pomegranate aril phyllo cups, and of course - cookies.

recipes i used this year were:
linzer cookies (the original recipe called for mixing a little liquor in with the jam, but i kept them n/a in case the platters made their way into homes with kiddos.)
royally iced sugar and gingerbread cookies
chocolate dipped shortbread snowflakes
and chocolate peppermint bark

it was a super fun way to relax and enjoy the season with lots of holiday yummies!
