DEL.ICIO.USAre you a cookie swapper?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Around this time of year, it seems that even the most reticent bakers head to their kitchens to start baking cookies.
While, I have never done it, I have several friends who participate in organized holiday cookie swaps, where everyone bakes and brings several dozen to share. I’ve done informal swapping, especially with certain friends who like to bake. The thing I like most about exchanging is that I can find recipes I like (or don’t like) without having to spend the time trying them out. My friend, Lisa, always makes a bunch that I never would think of trying, so I can see if any are ones that I would want to make again. I tend to stick with classics that i love, maybe adding one new one each year.
Do you or your friends get together to swap cookies? What do you think are the best approaches to a successful swap? Have you ever had someone at your swap whose cookies — or behavior — was not up to snuff? How do you handle that?
If you love cookies, be sure to check our Baker’s Dozen Christmas Cookies collection for recipes and photos.

I can’t find colored miniature marmellows anywhere. I live in lawrenceville and tried Publix and Kroger’s. I want to make the church windows. Can anyone help?

Try Wal-Mart for the colored marshmallows. I’ve seen them there. Good luck!
