1 The Daily Star, Oneonta, N.Y., Friday, December 7, 2012 A/Otsego Manor 2x3 Stars share cookie recipes in Food special TV Media T he holidays can be a magical time of year, one that is infused with the familiar scents and flavors that have become synonymous with the season, such as cinnamon and cranberries. With the Thanksgiving turkey leftovers all eaten up, the next big meal that many are looking forward to is the Christmas dinner. But for many more, it's the cookies, bars and squares that bring a little magic to those of us with a sweet tooth this time of year. From gingerbread to sugar cookies, baking and decorating cookies have long been holiday traditions for many families -- and the Food Network knows it. As part of its festive-themed weekend Giada De Laurentiis will be featured in "All-Star Cookies" programming this month, the Food Network is adding a one-hour special to its roster. "All-Star Cookies," premiering Sunday, Dec. 9, features clips of Food's all-star chefs baking up some specialty cookies that would be perfect for any cookie exchange party. Giada De Laurentiis, Paula Deen, Ina Garten and even the "Sandwich King" himself, Jeff Mauro, are among the Food stars whose top cookie recipes might inspire viewers to bake their own batch to give, enjoy or leave for Santa on Christmas Eve. This cookie special might also be particularly timely for those looking to participate in a cookie swap. It's a concept that can actually be a big time and money saver for this busy time of year: you and your fellow guests need only make a big batch of one recipe each, then you can trade your way to a whole assortment of cookies to enjoy or freeze until your next get-together. It's also an inexpensive way -- and a fun excuse -- to spend some quality time with friends and family all at once, without it being a formal affair. But should you find your casual get-together is rapidly becoming a larger group reunion, not to worry --the Food Network and its sister station, the Cooking Channel, are hoping to be your go-to sources for inspiration this season for all of your holiday entertaining needs, whether big or small. Both have lined up specials and themed episodes throughout the month, not to mention some extensive digital content at foodnetwork.com andcookingchanneltv.com. The sites include many more cookie recipes from the TV pros, along with party planning tips and helpful how-to videos for other classic Yuletide recipes.
