Julie Van Rosendaal's wintery cookie swap picks

It’s cookie baking season.

Here are two new recipes to add to your repertoire, whether you’re planning a cookie swap or not.

The eccles cakes are particularly easy to make in larger batches.

Chocolate espresso shortbread

Freshly ground coffee can go directly into shortbread dough. Beating it along with the butter and sugar will spread the flavour further. You’ll still get little bits of coffee in each bite, along with dark chocolate.

By creating a dent in the middle, you can make your cookies resemble coffee beans. (Julie Van Rosendaal/CBC)
