Good Morning Robin,

Here are my photos from my first Cookie Exchange. I actually co-hosted with my best friend Jen Scroggins. We only had 4 ladies show up besides the two of us, which was ok since it was the first one, and it was a little last minute on whether we wanted to attempt it. We actually called ours a Christmas Cookie/Dessert Exchange, as we didn’t want to limit it to just cookies.

We required that a favorite or family traditional recipe be brought and something new to that person that they had wanted to try but just never did. We had several kinds of cookies, some bars, and some fudge and candies. This was fun, because we all have those recipes that we think look good but are often too afraid to try, or don’t really have a reason to.

We played a few games, name that Christmas cookie, and the guests had to “dress Santa” this was a search for Santa’s suit hidden on my Christmas Tree, first one to find it, won. It was a great time and we are planning to co-host again this year. We have already started to do a little bit of planning, and shopping for door prize items and things to use to send cookies home at the end of the party.

Thanks for all your inspiration and ideas.
