A few years ago, I had the privilege of attending a holiday cookie swap at a friend’s house and have wanted to write about it ever since. It was a marvelous spread filled with cookies of every size, shape, and flavor.
The rules of the swap were actually very easy. Bake a plate of your favorite cookies and bring enough of them to share with the other people in attendance. Men and women walked around sampling new recipes and filling their plates to take home to share with their families.
There were so many different types of sweets to choose from that it was hard to decide which one was my favorite. I still like anything with chocolate in it and there is something oddly satisfying about a potato chip cookie. I guess it’s the combination of salty and sweet that makes it taste so good!

Being a guest at a holiday cookie swap is far different than being its host. Here are some ways to throw a successful party without all the hassles that go along with December festivities:
A cookie swap is a great way to share with others during the holidays. So, what are you waiting for? Dust off those recipe books and get busy baking. Nothing beats a party where you can showcase your talents and sample other people’s as well!
