These are like pecan pie, only
in cookie form. Have you ever tried a Christmas Cookie Swap? Here are
some tips to help you have a successful one.
1. Invite 4-10 guests. Remember that the more guests the greater variety
of cookies but it also means you have to bake more cookies.
2. Ask participants to bake 1 dozen cookies for every guest attending.
3. Have guests bring containers to take their cookies home in.
4. Ask everyone to attach the recipe to their cookie.
5. Set the date early before the holiday season gets to hectic. |
