On Friday I hosted our second annual baking exchange and today I have joined some of my favorite bloggers to bring you a virtual Christmas cookie exchange! I love Christmas Baking Exchanges because you go to the party with one kind of cookie, but come home with dozens of other goodies to taste!
There’s nothing better than seeing all of the cookies out in their decorative packages and getting to fill up your bags with family favorites from friends. I can’t wait to share this Candy Cane Brownie Blossom Recipe so that you can make it today…Don’t they all look fabulous?!!

Kitchen essentials for baking:
- I love using this non-stick bakeware for all of my baking.
- These silicone mitts are perfect for grasping hot pans and baking dishes.
- This Henckel Knife is my favorite for slicing and dicing in the kitchen.
- These parchment paper bags are perfect for packaging and these large Rubbermaid food storage containers are great for storing baking in the freezer.
My contribution to our Baking Exchange this year were these amazing Candy Cane Brownie Blossom cookies. Truly they are to die for! My friend Amy brought them to our swap last year and our whole family was hooked because they are absolutely delicious. Seriously… so good!
Be sure to check out, pin, print and share all of the recipes in this awesome swap! Just try not to lick the screen Mmmmkay?
Tips for Holiday Baking:
- Double or triple recipes to make large batches of goodies. This allows cookies and bars to be made in an assembly line fashion and speeds up the process.
- Pick holiday recipes that compliment each other and look good plated together. For example every year I like to make Candy Cane Brownies, Eggnog Cookies, Cranberry and Pistachio Shortbread and Peppermint Dipped Chocolate Cookies for a good variety.
- Participate in a Holiday Baking Exchange! This is a great way to prepare for a season of holiday entertaining.
- Start baking early and store goodies in the freezer until they are needed. I use these large Rubbermaid food storage containers (aff link) to save a mixture of cookies and bars in my freezer so that I have them ready to go for Christmas parties and gatherings all season long.

Just a note – be sure to use olive oil in this recipe – it makes the cookies puff up. Alternately my friend Amy shared another version that seems to be less troublesome:

½ cup butter or margarine
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp peppermint extract
2 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
