When it comes to the holiday season, there’s so many things that immediately bring that holiday nostalgia. One of them is my mom’s “Chinese New Years” cookies. These salty sweet candy/cookie hybrid, have been my mom’s signature dessert to make and also give as gifts. So delicious and SO easy to make (no oven time!), today I’m sharing the recipe as part of a Virtual Cookie Exchange with some of favorite blogger friends!
We’re all sharing a mix of recipes from classics to new favorites and overall hope it makes your week extra sweet! And to make it even sweeter, we’ll be helping several of you with your Christmas baking by giving away five Target gift cards to do your ingredient shopping with!

Now it’s time to head over to my blogger friend Jessica of My Style Vita‘s site for her recipe! Jessica and I have known each other for a few years now thanks to my day job too and she shares a great mix of content from fashion and beauty to lifestyle and travel (and of course her adorable pup!). Jessica is sharing her recipe for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies and I can’t wait to make them too!
