cookie exchange

Holiday baking tradition

A cookie exchange is a holiday gathering where participants each bring a large batch of one type of homemade cookie, then swap portions so everyone leaves with an assortment: We're hosting a cookie exchange next Saturday—bring three dozen of your best recipe.

The format lets people stock up on variety without baking multiple batches themselves.
