Cookie Exchange Gettogether

I was asked to host another cookie exchange so I thought that the same rules would apply as last time and I could possibly throw it on December 7 which is a Sunday at 1PM.
Would there be any interested parties in this event?

Darn, I've been looking forward to participating in it again, but I am flying out to DC that afternoon for work. Have fun!

We've got a work party on the same day - sorry! I was looking forward to it, too!

Hi,

I will be happy to attend. It will be crazy to get all those cookies done by then, but the variety I take home will be well worth the effort.

Regards,

Yes, definitely!! I had a great time last year and will start looking for a simpler recipe immediately.

what are the rules/guidelines/numbers?

See this thread from last year's cookie exchange. Basically, prepare 1 dozen cookies x # of participants plus 1 dozen to share & enjoy during the event, and bring copies of your recipe.

Well, it sounds like fun, and as of now, the date is open for me-
My only concern is that if we ge to a large # of people, maybe we'd make it fewer than 12 per person... to keep from baking a bazillion dozen cookies

I'm interested, but just not sure I can pull it all off between Thanksgiving stuff, LTH party etc.

If you end up with a later date, I'm definitely in - last year was a lot of fun.

I would love to do this as well, it's just that the 7th is already booked. Have fun all and eat extra cookies for me!

I think that the maximum amount of people is at about 10 to 12.
Otherwise it gets too crazy.

I think this would be really fun, too, but the 7th doesn't work for me either.

I couldn't make it last year - but I'd love to join you all this year!
Are there still open spaces?

I'll make my mother's Heleneschnitten - an traditional (but not commonly known) German almond cookie.

Cathy could you keep tab of how many people are showing.
Those that can't make it just PM me otherwise this thread is getting very convoluted.
Those that are coming welcome, this will be fun. Diet a couple days before
as you will be on cookie overload come the event.
I will make mulled cider and mulled wine as is my tradition.
Last years cookies lasted me for 5 weeks and I still generously shared with others.

I'm in Mexico without my calendar, but I'd love to come. Can you put me down as tentative?

I think I'll be bringing something from the coconut family...

Can I just say that I'd like to be in Mexico without my calendar right now?

I will be there if room allows.

My daughter found a cookie recipe called Sugar Shuttles she wanted to try and I think this will be my cookie choice (post test run). Looking so forward to this event.

I would love to come, as it was great last year, but I am heavily pregnant (35 weeks)
Have a great time, those of you who are doing it again, and those of you who are diving in, be prepared for some great treats! I just looked through my recipes that I collected from last year, and am anticipating making some of them soon.

After a frenzy of baking this weekend,
I now have a bazillion Chocolate Sparkle Shortbread cookies tucked into my freezer....
In what form are we supposed to bring them-
separate ziplocs?
a large foil tray?
8 1/2 x 11 copies of the recipe?
Just trying to go with the flow...
Thanks


would hungry 12 yr old boys be welcome?

Foodie1 - Espresso Cookies

Hi,

There is still room for five more participants. To avoid replication, advise what cookie you will be bringing.

Regards,

I want to make a simple cookie I think a peanut butter blossom, my all time favorite.
It has peanut butter and chocolate.

Hi,

I will be making Linzercookies. I am baking them tonight. To avoid going stir crazy this weekend.

Regards,

Well, now I don't feel so bad about missing it, because that was what I was going to make! They were by far our favorite cookies last year: I did an almond cookie base with a strained homemade cranberry jelly.

MHays,

I would have gladly made something else, if you could have made it. It is one of the Christmas cookie repetoire that is a must every year.

Last night for an event Friday night, I made white- and semi-sweet chocolate and fresh cranberry oatmeal cookies. My family liked them more than I did. If I liked them more, then I would have suggested those.

Regards,

I would love to attend, but I'm also hosting my own cookie swap with friends. Would it be okay for me to drop off my cookies earlier that day (this Sunday) and pick up my share later in the afternoon?

I will be making/bringing Espresso Cookies

You are very welcome to do this.
Make sure that you make 8 copies of the recipe.
