This past Tuesday night we had a Cookie Exchange program at the library. It was a lot of fun! If you have never been to one, here's how it works:
- each person chooses a cookie recipe and brings a few (or more) dozen of that cookie to the exchange party (depending on how many people are going)
- at the party, all of the cookies are set out on a table, where everyone can go around and grab 1 of each cookie, to taste!
- then, you'll often have a contest for best tasting or most unique cookie
- sometimes the host will present fun baking facts or trivia
- finally, everyone goes around and takes an equal amount of everyone else's cookies, along with a copy of the recipe-that's a lot of cookies!
So if you have never experienced one, why not plan one yourself? And it doesn't have to be at Christmastime-do one in July! Here are some helpful websites if you ever decide to tackle one yourself:
- RobinsWeb
- Good Housekeeping
- About.com
- Betty Crocker
- Rachael Ray
- I heart naptime (cute printables!)
- How to nest for less (cute printables!)
Below are some pictures of my favorite holiday cookies-what are yours? Comment below!
