Cookie Party!
childhood friends, Gabrielle and Gabriella
gorgeous tiffany blue snowflake cookies
This year we share four cookie recipes, and these are onces we've made or tasted over the years at this annual cookie trading party in our friend's home in New York City. My daughter Gabby and I are invited each year, and we have fun whipping up a new recipe we have not tried before. In 2019, Gabby has become quite the baker and now has her very own baking instagram @GoodiesbyGab where she whips up gorgeous and delicious desserts as well as savory baked items. Our cookie recipe share game is strong this year so don't forget to check out #1 on the list, and #2 was our favorite cookie we tasted at the party two years ago. We found out the baker won an award for her cookie, then generously shared the recipe with us.

Our 2019 Cookie recipe...
1. Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies
Gabby and I made these two together because we both love the rich flavor of Red Velvet and we thought the color looked festive. We utilized the Delish.com recipe but added our own twist to make it slightly different.
