Travel Around the World with 46 Cookie Recipes (Cheaper than Airfare)

by:
December  6, 2015

There are bar crawls and taco crawls and even cupcake crawls, so why not cookie crawls? Why not cookie crawls around the world?

We've taken that sugar-drunk fantasy and made it a reality (a virtual reality, at least). Using our Cookies of the World map, illustrated by Jordan Sondler and populated with kooky, classic, and addictive recipes from our staff, friends, and community members, you can country hop, cookie-style.

Click on the illustration (or on the legend below it) to find the story behind each recipe. Then, throw a globally-inspired party and make Filipino Polvóron, Nigerian Chin Chin, and British brandy snaps (all pictured right here!).

This year's holiday cookie tin just got 46 times more exciting.

Sad not to see the Indian / Pakistan sub continent!

Sorry. Saw laddos but they wouldn't be cookies as such. In Pakistan we have two really popular baked cookies that would have been wonderful to share! Next time!!

Love this -- and am happy to see Canada featured with the Nanaimo Bar, one of my all-time favorite cookies. But can I ask you to correct the map? It lists the cookie as being from the city of Vancouver, British Columbia, which is not correct. The cookie hails from the city of Nanaimo, which is on Vancouver Island. (I realize that is a little confusing.) Thanks!
