Our first annual cookie swap...Delicious!

Five Cookteasers stepped up up to the challenge of a cookie exchange, and here are the fabulous results.

From left and clockwise (click on the links for the recipes): Nadia's Soft Ginger Cookies - warm spices and the crunch of sugar were the highlight of this chewy cookie; Christina's Chocolate Wonders - held a surprise of white chocolate chips and dried cranberries; Sheridan's Aunty Val's Shortbread - sweet and crumbly this classic was cooked from Sheridan's late Aunty Val's recipe; Carol's Cashew Butter Cookies - delivered a big crunch with moreish nutty flavour, and in the centre, Sherrise's Stained Glass Cookies - delicate flavour with glossy lolly centres in an assortment of Christmas designs and colours.

Cookie Monsters, eat you heart out!

Chock full o' nuts: Sheridan bakes Lincoln Crisps

The call of the biscuit!
I was a bit nervous entering into this 'High Tea' affair with such fantasic cooks at my side. I only attempted to bake an old favouite to ease me in. (Although our aim is to try a new recipe each time! I will from now on I promise.) This is such an easy recipe, a no-brainer - even the kids can help - which they did. They are the sort of biscuit that does not have to be exactly the same shape and therefore having their own creative identity based on the blob from your dessert spoon. As an after thought, once baked you could jazz these nutty biscuits up a bit, by maybe drizzling chocolate on top ( like a florentine) The Cook Teasers thought this would be a nice addition to the plainer version.
