Submit your favorite Christmas cookie recipe in the 1st annual virtual Christmas Cookie Exchange and receive a free cookie cookbook!
Every year, one of the teacher’s in the high school where I work hosts a Christmas cookie exchange. Everyone pays a set amount, the teacher purchases all the cookie baking supplies, then we get together one evening and bake cookies.
It’s a great way to bake a lot of cookies in one evening and go home with all sorts of Christmas cookies.
As I begin to prepare for the Christmas season this year, I thought it would be fun to host a VIRTUAL Christmas Cookie Exchange and invite you to participate.

I have tried to put my recipe in with no luck, and now it is too late can I please submit it? Here is my recipe just in case. HAWAIIAN TARTS 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour 1 cup pineapple preserves 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar 2 tablespoons cornstarch1 cup softened butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup white sugar 1 egg 1 1/2 cups flaked coconut 1/3 cup confectioners sugar for decoration Directions Preheat oven 350 degrees In a large bowl, mix together the butter vanilla, and confectioners sugar. Mix until this is smooth. Sift together the flour and corn starch, Add the flour mixture to the bowl and stir by hand until a dough forms. Roll the dough into 1 inch balls then press them into a miniature muffin cup pan. Shape the dough up the sides of each well.
In each prepared cup put 1 teaspoon off pineapple preserves. Mix sugar and egg until well blended. Stir in the flaked coconut and put 1 teaspoon of this mixture onto each pineapple filled tart. Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. The cookie crust should be slightly golden. Cool tarts in pan for at least 15 minutes before taking them out of the pan. Lightly tap mini muffin pans on the counter to loosen tarts. Dust lightly with confectioners sugar. Makes 3 dozen. (note I have also used the pecan tassie dough recipe for these also they taste wonderful.)
