This week, our sister publication Weddings put together a company-wide cookie swap; their managing editor Talley organized the event. The idea was to take an afternoon break and share cookies within your specific work group and then walk around to other areas to visit and partake of more treats. I walked around the publishing area to sample (and photograph) the goodies. If you are still looking for holiday cookie recipes, check out our website's cookie page. I personally am on a cookie break after this sugar feast!
1 Adina decorated some stockings (it was her first time decorating Christmas cookies) and Dawn made Rudolph out of an angel cutout. She crushed a red M&M to make the nose.
2 I made icebox slice-and-bake cookies with cranberries and pistachios and a granola-like cookie with oats, chocolate chips, pecans, and dried cherries.
3 I loaded up a plate of samples.
4 English toffee—with a warning—from the photo department.
5 Chocolate and cherry cookies in Living's row.
6 Almond macaroons from our consumer marketing department. They took only 15 minutes to pull together!
7 On the left: cornflake cookies! From the style department.
8 A good soul baked some gluten-free brownies and labeled them for those who couldn't partake of the other wheat-based treats.
9 Giant sour cream cookies with coarse sugar on top, from the gardening department.
10 The favorite row was rightly Weddings'. Talley made sugar cookie cutouts and there was a rainbow assortment of piping bags for decorating.
11 Our test kitchen was cooking salmon at the time and the smell of fish prompted many to create fish out of the Christmas cutouts. (At top left is the hook, but the worm has slipped off!)
12 A bikini beauty—a friend in Weddings was already thinking about her upcoming vacation to Hawaii.

hi kellee,
a little late to the cookie party but could the folks in marketing provide the recipe for the almond macaroons? they look awesome and i'm not sure if they followed the same coconut macaroon recipe on martha's site and i'd like to know how much almond to add.
thx!
