The Great Holiday Cookie Swap
Want to make your office more festive during the holidays? Or lookng for an excuse to get your girlfriends together this holiday season? Bring people together with cookies!
Cookie swaps have become tradition in some offices and social circles with people looking forward to them every year. Each group sets up their own rules and finds their own way of doing their cookie exchange, but here's the general idea:
The organizer first needs to figure out how many people are participating. Each participant makes a dozen batches of cookies per participant. So if there are six people participating in the cookie swap, you make six dozen cookies. Then, you give a dozen cookies to each participant (and keep a dozen for yourself). By the end, each person should have six dozen cookies of different varieties.
Part of the fun of a cookie swap is seeing what types of cookies people make and why so ask your guests to share their story behind the cookie they chose to make. Is it a family recipe? Have they been making this recipe for years? You get the idea.
If you want to do a cookie swap but don't have any good recipes in mind or want to try something new, check out these holiday cookie recipes to find one you like.
And get started with your cookie swap party by sending holiday invitations early!
Enjoy Planning.
