Tips for your cookie exchange
Decide how many each baker brings
A common approach is half a dozen per person attending, so everyone leaves with a full box. Share the number along with the link.
Let people swap the cookie type
The list starts with classics, and bakers can name their own recipe when they sign up.
Ask for allergen notes
Nuts, dairy and eggs are all common in cookies. Ask bakers to label their plate on the day.
Bring boxes or ask others to
Take-home boxes are on the list because they are easy to forget.
Common questions
How many cookies does each person bring to a cookie exchange?
A common rule is six cookies per guest. With 10 bakers, each person brings about five dozen, though many hosts ask for less.
How do you stop people bringing the same cookie?
Have everyone claim a cookie on a shared list before they bake. Once one is taken, others can see it.
Can guests add their own recipe?
Yes. Each baker can write in exactly what they are making.
