cookie exchanges

Holiday baking trades

A cookie exchange is a holiday gathering where participants each bake a large batch of one type of cookie, then swap with others so everyone goes home with an assortment.

The format turns one afternoon of baking into a varied holiday spread: We're hosting a cookie exchange next Saturday—bring three dozen of your best.
