Must-Have Cookie Recipes for Your Next Swap Meet

Cookies have become a staple in our modern society. They can be made with a plethora of ingredients that allow you to create varying tastes to meet the needs of all of your family and friends. While many of us are familiar with the basics of chocolate chip and sugar cookies, there are many other great recipes out there to try.

Snickerdoodles

Especially during the winter season, having a cinnamon-flavored treat is always appreciated. When that treat comes in the form of a crunchy outside and a chewy inside, life can’t be any better than in that moment. This special cookie can be made with most staples from your pantry, which make them the perfect go-to for last-minute desserts. Snickerdoodles can even be frozen and still retain their flavor, that is, if you have any leftover to keep.

Ginger Cookies

Ginger provides a unique taste that brings up memories of the autumn season. In fact, traditional gingersnaps are a popular option for those who don’t want any extremely sugary treat. But most gingersnaps come out hard, which makes them great for dunking. However, ginger cookies provide that fulfilling ginger taste in a chewy cookie form. With this ginger cookie recipe, you’ll have the versatility of eating them plain or dunking them if you just love the combination of milk and ginger.

Spicy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

When you’re in the mood for a hardy cookie that will be sure to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings, then look no further than the spicy oatmeal raisin cookie. It comes with sweet crumbles of raisins hidden inside the thick oatmeal dough. However, this particular recipe calls for adding a little holiday spice. You’ll love the way that your kitchen smells as you prepare this tasty treat. They’ll be sure to beef up that cookie tray and help to satisfy your holiday appetite.

M&M Cookies

You can’t go wrong with these cookies, as most people love the tiny M&M chocolate delights. M&M cookies are definitely a safe option on any cookie tray. This recipe calls for making large cookies that have a hint of toffee flavor. You can make your cookies unique with holiday colors of red and green M&Ms, or you can add all the traditional colors. Creating a unique look for your cookie tray is easier than ever with these M&M cookies.

Thumbprint Cookies

If you want cookies to help create a beautifully designed bakery look, then thumbprint cookies are a must. These delicious bites have the vanilla sugar cookie taste topped with whatever flavor jam you desire. This particular thumbprint cookie bake and slice recipe helps to make creating these cookies a breeze for any swap meet.

Instead of creating individual cookies to bake, you’ll be making multiple cookie logs that get filled in the center with your favorite jam. After cooking and cooling, you’ll simply slice the log into strips, and you have your tasty delights. This cookie is very versatile, as you can use different jams in the center to create a flavorful experience for all of your cookie tasters.

Lemon Ricotta Cookies

If you love the scent of lemon in your kitchen, then lemon ricotta cookies are a must-add to your cookie recipe list. This cookie presents a bright tone with its specialized lemon glaze and a fluffy, pillow-like consistency thanks to its ricotta. This is the perfect cookie to help break up those richer holiday flavors and present a light cookie full of lemony goodness. Just remember that you’ll have to schedule a little extra time for these cookies to cool before you can add the lemony glaze for their final touch.

Holly Wreaths

If you want to bring some culinary delight, then the holly wreaths are a great option. This spritz cookie reveals beautiful lines of creation that give the wreath some dimension for both a tasty and visually intriguing snack. Add on some green and red features in the form of gummies and cherries, and you have a holiday cookie that everyone will want to know the recipe behind. The best part is that these holly wreaths are made with cream cheese to help keep them nice and moist for much longer than traditional cookies.

Peppermint Stick Cookies

No great recipe book is complete without a peppermint holiday favorite. These peppermint stick cookies go way beyond just adding some crushed peppermint for flavor. They are intertwined with natural and holiday colors to create a beautiful festive look. With a little food coloring, you can have red and green twists topped with crushed peppermint. Or, change the dough color to whatever holiday you’re looking to celebrate with the added bonus of peppermint.

Iced Pumpkin Cookies

There’s just something about the taste of pumpkin that is both fulfilling and jubilant. When you top it with sweet icing, it can seem like there’s nothing better on earth at that moment. All you’ll need is a can of pumpkin puree and your usual pantry ingredients to quickly whip up this pumpkin delight. The combined sweetness of pumpkin and icing alongside the light and fluffy cookie texture is to die for. There’s one thing for sure, your iced pumpkin cookies are going to be a hit at your next swap meet.

Cranberry Orange Cookies

If you want to bring a new recipe to your swap meet that most haven’t heard of, then the cranberry orange cookie is the way to go. This unique recipe combines the sweetness of cranberries with the refreshing burst of orange in a small, delicious package.

Just the sheer beauty of how these cookies turn out, with their orange glaze covering those dark cranberries hidden in the cookie, will be sure to attract attention. Unfortunately, you likely won’t be able to take in their vibrant beauty for long as these cranberry orange cookies tend to be a popular favorite for most.

Peanut Blossoms

Peanut blossoms are the perfect cookie to provide a visually appealing look and a simple palette that most people will find delicious. Though they’re commonly made during the holiday season, these blossoms are perfect for any time of the year. They provide a gummy peanut butter cookie base topped with a Hershey kiss.

While sticking to peanut butter and chocolate is always a fan favorite, no matter where you go, you always have the option of spicing these up with different kiss treats. Consider swapping out some of the milk chocolate kisses for peppermint, orange, or even mint-flavored ones. If you really want to go over the top, consider adding real peanuts, cashews, or other nuts to the exterior edge of these blossom cookies.

Snowballs

If you love confectionary magic, then snowballs may be right up your alley. Known also as Russian teacakes and Mexican wedding cake, these bite-sized cookies are comprised of pecans rolled in a sugary dough. These snowball cookies are a favorite option for those preparing tasty treats for many, as their ball shape doesn’t spread as traditional cookies do. Their intriguing mixture of nutty and sweet make them the perfect treat for dunking or eating straight.

Whether you’re looking for a new tasty treat to add to your recipe book or just want to impress the others at your swap meet, all of the above will be sure to please. Each one provides its own unique flavors and looks to stand out from the crowd.
