HOLIDAY HITS: Cookie Exchange

Cookie Exchange

There is something about the holidays that make you want to bake. That's why this is another wonderful idea to spruce up a Christmas or Holiday Party.  A Cookie Exchange or Cookie Swap is usually a small gathering in which you ask everyone attending to bring their favorite cookie and the recipe.

Once guest arrive you can have them create a label or a sign to put in front of their cookies. You then mix and mingle and sample cookies. After everyone has sampled, you can hand out treat bags or containers for everyone to pack up cookies they really enjoyed. You can have ribbons and other gift packaging available so they can make gifts for their friends and family. The guests will leave with tasty treats and new recipes. The Hot Chocolate Bar would go well with this idea.


Supplies:
Napkins
Serving Utensils
Platters for cookies
Signs for cookies
Note cards for recipes
Beverage (hot chocolate, coffee tea, cider or water)
Cups
Straws
Treat Bags for guest to take leftovers (optional)

Good Luck and Happy Planning!
