Cookie Exchange

This is a reprint of my very popular post about how to have a cookie exchange.
How do you have a cookie exchange? Invite 6 or more friends to bring 2-4 dozen Christmas cookies each for an evening of conversation, cider and carols. Put all cookie plates on a table or kitchen island. O-o-o and A-w-e-e over all the cookies. Sit and visit for a while enjoying your cider or other beverage and just before it is time to go home, each guest chooses her cookies to take home. In the interest of fairness, each person takes home as many cookies as she brought. As the hostess, I usually make extras so everyone goes home with some cookies even if they don’t have time to bake. The event is as much about sharing our lives as it is about taking home cookies so I encourage my non-bakers to attend!
