‘Tis the season to spread the sugar-laden love, and with our easy Christmas cookie exchange ideas<\/strong> you can have fun with friends and simplify holiday baking! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing brings people together quite like cookies—especially during the holidays. A simple, well-organized Christmas cookie exchange isn’t just a gathering; it’s a joyful celebration of creativity and deliciousness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best of all, you only have to make one big batch of cookies–but you’ll return home with an assortment of treats! Here’s how to keep things simple for this fun holiday tradition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I once attended a truly overwhelming cookie exchange party. After laboring for several days over the required 12 dozen cookies and packing them in the requisite zip-lock plastic bags, I arrived and discovered that the seasoned exchangers had already ransacked the cookie table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After several of them swooped in on my Molasses Crinkles<\/a>, I surveyed the leavings:  a few well-fingered baggies of animal crackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So you can understand my trepidation when several girlfriends invited me to join their annual fancy Christmas cookie exchange a few years ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But these smart women have this holiday ritual figured out, and their execution is so simple and brilliant I thought I’d share it with you.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the gist:  we each bake five dozen of our best Christmas cookies and package them prettily. (I bake coconut macaroons<\/a> drizzled with melted chocolate.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next—and this is an extremely important element of a simple cookie exchange—we meet at a great restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We drink Mimosas, we catch up, we laugh, and we present each other with our cookies. Later we each return home with a stunning selection of five dozen fancy, delicious cookies like these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cookie Exchange Recipes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some of my favorite easy cookie recipes to make for a cookie swap party include Orange Cranberry White Chocolate Bar Cookies<\/a>, Dulce de Leche Thumbprint Cookies<\/a>, Raspberry Crumble Cookies<\/a>, and Chewy Toffee Blondies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, be sure to check out our roundup of 30 Best Christmas Cookies Easy to Make<\/a>, featuring pretty cookies from top food bloggers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Many Cookies Per Person?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are six people in our group and we all have families, so we each prepare 5 dozen cookies to swap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your group is larger or smaller, you can adjust accordingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 Ideas for a Simple Christmas Cookie Swap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Reasonable Quantities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Making a single batch of 5 dozen Christmas cookies is doable, even with a busy schedule. And five dozen cookies limits the amount of temptation at home, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Practical Packaging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pack your cookies in resealable containers, bakery boxes, zip-top bags or other airtight packaging, so the cookies stay fresh and are easy to tote. Bring a sturdy bag to bring your cookies home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Fun Location<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you meet at a fun, centrally-located restaurant or cafe, no one has to clean the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Plenty of Advance Notice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The girls in my group get the date on the calendar at least two months in advance so everyone can be there. This annual gathering insures that we all get to see each other during the busy holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Serve Bubbly Drinks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A glass of Champagne or sparkling cider makes the occasion festive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How about you? Do you participate in an annual cookie exchange? I’d love to hear about your traditions, so drop a comment below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you experience many sweet, joyful, peaceful moments during this busy holiday season<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
