Food COMPILED BY MARK ANDERSON PHOTOS BY BRANDON AT WELL | STYLING BY LISA ANDERSON 4 DECEMBER 2019 Is there a better time for cookies than Christmas? Whether it's a family recipe, a selection from a treasured cookbook or simply something you found online, cookies are a versatile baked good that can include all sorts of sweet ingredients and toppings. Trading cookies at a cookie swap or holiday party is a fun way to learn new recipes, make new friends and try something different - perhaps something you have never tried before. Bring these recipes to one of the cookie swaps here in The Villages or make them at home for friends and family - just be sure to leave a few (along with a glass of milk) for Santa on the mantel.
