If you're looking for some cookie exchange ideas, this post covers everything you need to know whether it's your first cookie exchange or it's your favorite holiday tradition.
The cookie exchange "officially" started in the early 20th century. Ladies would host meetings to discuss different topics and everyone would partake in different cookies on different days of the week at the different homes.
With cookie exchange parties today, participants bake a batch of their favorite cookie recipe and then bring them to a party where guests trade.
When it comes to cookies, I'm all about variety and flavor. Some exchanges get competitive based on how they look and what ingredients are included.
- Don't bring a store bought cookie. - Chocolate chip cookies are too common. Don't bring them. - Try to avoid duplicates. Think outside the box. - Bring a recipe card so participants can recreate them at home.
