Overview

The holidays are a great time for sharing, and the perfect occasion for an annual cookie swap! While we can't sample all of the great cookies you make, we still want to see what you're baking up this season.

Share your favorite cookie recipes and decorating techniques for your chance to win some great prizes. We'll be giving away 2 iPad Minis: one for the top recipe, and one for best decoration. Eight runner-up winners will receive our Food Editor's favorite set of mixing bowls, perfect for tackling any challenge.

So preheat your oven, don your most festive apron, and show us what you've got. We're looking for great photos, easy-to-follow instructions, and a sprinkle of originality to set your project apart. We can't wait to see what you make!
