Holiday Cookie Exchange
02/05/12
by Lorraine Bevere
With the Christmas holidays coming up, many cooks will be looking at lots of baking and preparations for the parties and get-togethers not to mention the big day itself. How can you reduce the stress and still put out a variety of tasty treats for family and friends? Try a cookie exchange.
The general idea of a cookie exchange is a group of friends each bake a batch of cookies to be shared amongst the group. Each member concentrates on and only has to purchase ingredients for one recipe but still gets a variety of goodies to offer at their own home. You need ground rules and everyone has different ideas so it is a good idea to discuss the details in advance so everyone knows their role.
For some parties there is a strict rule about the cookies being homemade. At others the gathering is more important so if a member feels a time crunch at the last minute they can choose to buy something from the bakery. Store bought bagged cookies would be taboo but bakery, homemade-like would be okay.
First, agree on a timeline. Make sure each member can make the commitment and ask that they each set aside baking time at least a few days before the scheduled exchange (that way they have time to bake and time to fix it if something goes wrong). Another reason you might want to bake the cookies early is they "cure" a bit. Fresh cookies don't really transport well and tend to crumble badly during the exchange.
Ask your members to send you their recipes so you can make copies for the others and ensure that no two are making the same cookies (don't forget, variety is the key!). They don't all have to bake cookies either, bars and macaroons work really well too. It is a nice idea if they include a few lines about why they chose this recipe or any memories they have of making or eating these cookies. Sharing the details of how the recipe was once grandma's or how you set fire to the kitchen one time while baking them is half the fun of the party! Create a booklet of the recipes and memories for each member to keep. If you have a digital camera you could even take pics at the party of the cookies and the members to include in the booklets.
Members should bake one dozen cookies for each member (assuming you have a smallish group of less than 10 people - you might want to say 1/2 dozen per member if there are lots of participants) and package them separately so the exchange is easier to make. With the new disposable containers on the market, separate packaging is easy. Even a simple paper plate (preferably with a Christmas design) would work.
The party itself works well with finger foods like veggies and dip and buffet style food. If it is an evening do, a wine and cheese spread would be fun too. Make sure everyone knows that this is for participants only, no spouses or kids at the party.
Looking for a good recipe to use for your cookie exchange? Try one of these:
