The cookie exchange sounds awesome.
How does one start?
What do you do?

Eric, Thank you for your support. Our cookie exchange was a great time and everyone that attended already mentioned that they can’t wait until next year. We donated the extra cookies to a neighborhood nursing home’s christmas party. Wilton also helped them celebrate the season.

Here’s to 2010′s cookie exchange.

As I mentioned in an earlier message, this was the 25th year of my Christmas cookie exchange, and it was really spectacular. We decorated 163 beautiful Santas for Meals for the Elderly, had some savory goodies and then exchanged our beautiful packages of cookies. Each of us went home with 11 dozen cookies, and they were all delicious. Each year I make up a little “cookbook” of all the recipes, and now we have two 3-ring binders completely full! If I can find a place to post pictures on the Wilton site, I’ll post some.

Also, my niece is a computer whiz, and she made me a beautiful book in celebration of our 25 years of fun. It included a great story about how we got started, and lots of pictures. We discovered that over the years we have taken a lot more pictures of the cookies than we have the people!!! It ended with the statement, “25 years and still baking!” We’re all looking forward to our 26th!

I helped organize a cookie exchange at my workplace & we had so much fun (and yummy cookies). I made the Creme de Menthe bars from the Wilton Cookie Exchange book & several people told me that was their favorite from the exchange.
