You know what time of year it is? It’s cookie baking season! My favorite time of year. As many of you know, I used to host an annual cookie swap party, but unfortunately I had to stop doing that because at my last cookie party I had a nasty allergic reaction to a cookie with chopped walnuts/pecans in it and my nut allergy was discovered.

So I started hosting a Virtual Cookie Swap here at sloCooking where I would post my recipes and the recipes of the cookies that were at my past parties. I also began asking other bloggers for recipes, and for the past 7 years I began sharing recipes for cookies I thought my readers will enjoy.

8^th Annual Virtual Cookie Swap

For the 8^th Annual Virtual Cookie Swap I added a second level to the recipe request, no only did I want bloggers to submit cookie recipes but I wanted them to be scratch baked AND allergy friendly (no dairy, tree nuts or gluten).

I hope you enjoy the recipes I found for this year. Happy baking and I look forward to hearing from you to see how your cookies turned out.
