Why not bring your cookies and baked swaps on your own special customized plate? Particularly good if you are proud of your baking creations.

Or you can package up your cookies and label your cookie exchange goods with a sticker, personalize with your name and some ribbon to make
your cookies a special gift.
What is a cookie swap?
In a cookie swap everyone takes home a great selection of
cookies they normally wouldn't have had time to bake or wouldn't have known how
to cook if you love to make cookies you can exchange recipes at the gathering
too. The best thing is you may get some cookies that you have never had the opportunity to taste
before and a recipe to give them a try.
You could even theme your event and give each participant a country to cook a speciality cookie or sweet delight from. There really are no hard and fast rules other than to have fun. If you are setting up one with kids it could be just having fun decorating the cookies.
There is one requirement that you must stick to. No one is allowed to bring store brought cookies (unless highly decorated!). It ruins the excitement for those who spent time baking. A store brought cookie just isn't the same as a cookie crafted at home.

If you decide to organise a
cookie exchange party these invites are a great way of letting your friends and
family know all about your cookie swap. If you want your guests to share in a fair way include a etiquette as part of you invite.

Finally after you have found some great baking recipes over the holiday season that you would love to bake make sure you can find them again next year by filling up your own Christmas recipe folder. Would also make a unique party gift filled with all the different recipes from the cookie exchange.
