I can't wait to see all the wonderful recipes you have to share! To "swap a cookie" just click on Mr. Linky and paste your post!
Here's my favorite Christmas cookie to swap with all of you:
PECAN SANDIES:
* 1 cup margarine, softened
* 1 cup vegetable oil
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
* 2 eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 2 cups chopped pecans
* 1/2 cup white sugar for decoration
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. In a large bowl, cream together the margarine, vegetable oil, 1 cup white sugar and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt, stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in the pecans. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and roll each ball in remaining white sugar. Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are golden. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.
This recipe makes a TON!

Yah. I am the first.
My recipes are more slices than cookies. We don't do a lot of cookies at Christmas though.
Next you'll need to post exercises, or salad recipes to make up for all these cookies!
Thanks for putting this together.
Thanks for hosting the cookie swap, Joann. I'm looking forward to checking out the recipes.
Wow, you can just tell from the picture that these melt in your mouth!! I'm going to make them this Christmas, thank you!
Thanks for hosting! I can't wait to find something new :)
Now I have to decide what recipe to post.
I just came upon your blog- couldn't resist the Cookie Swap. I'd love to add to the recipes with one of my own- not sure what or where Mr. Linky is- sorry- new to Blogging. Can't wait to try your recipe!
Mine are a little fussy but AWESOME with tea or coffee.
I better go make these now.
The Bailey's is on me. It's my favorite!
Thanks for the fun! I came upon your blog from Family Centered Life.

My thumbprints turned out rather messy, but they taste good.
