We hate to say it, but we're in the spirit, so here we go: 'tis the season to sip hot cider, start shopping for gifts, and . . . bake and indulge in delicious treats! One of the best parts of the holiday season is participating in cookie swaps among friends, family, and co-workers. Tell us what is better than getting to take home a huge Tupperware container of every cookie you can possibly think of?
This year, opt to break away from the traditional chocolate chip [1] and sugar cookies [2], and try one of these 15 Latin cookie recipes instead. Your basket will be the most popular one around, we promise.
