Biscuit recipes for a Christmas cookie swap

Forget bring-a-plate, it's bring-a-biscuit! Gather your pals for a cookie swap party. The concept? Each guest brings along a set number of home-baked biscuits, before you divvy them all up and everyone goes home with a lovely mixed selection of crumbly Christmas treats, to eat or re-gift.
