Holiday Cookie Exchange

Big Plate of Holiday Cookies.


Each Family went home with a box of cookies.


Icing a fresh batch of cookies.


A dozen for you, a dozen for me.


Oh Sweet Treats!


Today I hosted a Holiday Cookie Exchange during our weekly morning coffee. We had a lot of fun. There were six of us who were able to participate. We each baked six dozen cookies. We kept one dozen for ourselves and then each person exchanged a dozen of theirs for others. So we each ended up with a box of six dozen cookies in six varieties.

We had Snicker Doodles, Frosted Christmas Sugar Cookies, Amish Ginger Cookies, Oatmeal Scottchies, Iced Lemon Cookies and Holiday M&M Cookies. One of the ladies even brought some fudge that her Mom made (Thanks Momma Kathy!)

I think that the cookie exchange was a success. If we would of had ten or more women who would have participated we would only have exchanged six cookies each. I didn't want to have everyone bake ten dozen, six dozen cookies was a lot of baking in one day. Our families will be reaping the rewards with the tasty cookies over the holiday season.


Be Inspired to Host or participate in a Cookie Exchange with your friends and family.

I really enjoyed the cookie exchange and I know that my family is enjoying all of the cookies. I was suprised at how easy it was to make 6 dozen cookies. I think that I am use to making double batches of cookies anyways! Thanks for including me in this exchange. I look forward to doing this again next year.
