We're givng away a collection of the season's best cookie cookbooks, plus everyone can try a few sample recipes.

The best part about the holiday season is cookies, cookies and more cookies! And when it comes to recipes, I never get tired of searching for the next super-star new cookie to grace this year’s holiday cookie plate. Of course, we’ve collected some amazing new recipes (and made-over old faves) for Cooking Channel’s all-star cookie swap, but I’ve also had my eye on a few of the new cookie cookbooks out there. Here are some new ones, plus sample recipes to get you baking.

The Cookiepedia, by Stacy Adimando

Cookies for Kids’ Cancer: Best Bake Sale Cookbook, by Gretchen Holt-Witt
Pediatric cancer claims more lives than any other childhood disease in the U.S. When Gretchen Holt-Witt’s 2 1/2-year-old son was diagnosed with cancer in 2007 she became a mom on a mission, setting out to raise funds for cancer research by baking cookies — she baked 96,000 cookies and raised more than $420,000 her first year. Inspired by the success, she started Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, a non-profit that encourages people around the country to host their own bake sales. Now you can contribute to the cause by buying this cookbook; all proceeds go directly to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer.

Prince Liam’s Peanut Butter Cookies
