Cookie exchanges are a longstanding tradition in the United States where the host and each of their guests bake and bring a batch of cookies, and then get together to trade and try each kind. La Cocina de Hershey’s is inviting Latinas to host an “horneando juntas” or “intercambio de galletas”.
Some of the wonderful recipes from La Cocina de Hershey’s include:
Bolitas Mágicas KISSES®, delicious cookies rolled in powdered sugar
Polvorones de Limón y Coco, for those who prefer lemon and coconut fruit flavors
Galletas de Chocolate HERSHEY’S® y Menta, for a hint of mint
La Cocina de Hershey’s sent me an awesome package to host my own cookie exchange. I just received my package today and my 2 year old was definitely excited about the Hershey’s kisses.

The package pictured includes:
1 Bag of Hershey’s Kisses
1 Can of Hershey’s Cocoa
1 Apron
1 Mixing Bowl
1 $10 Visa Gift Card
And here’s your chance to win the same package I received so you can host your own cookie exchange/intercambio de galletas!
TO ENTER, you must subscribe to my blog via email. In ONE comment, state you are an email subscriber and share what you like to bake during the holidays.
Giveaway entry period ends Tuesday, December 13th at 6:00 PM Eastern Time. Open to US only.
Disclosure: The Hershey’s product, information, recipes, and prize pack have been provided by The Hershey Company through MyBlogSpark.
