The Cookie Exchange
 |
| (pumpkin chocolate chip, spritz, shortbread, caramel dipped marshmallows, apple cider caramel, holiday cookies, raisin nut nibbles, lemon cheese cups, ) |
Just for fun, I thought I would share some pics from the cookie exchange that I attended earlier in the week. 20 people came, each bringing 7 dozen cookies. We took 4 cookies from each plate and ended up with a great assortment of treats for ourselves.
 |
| (chewy choco-cream cheese, snickerdoodles, fudge, lemon drop) |
 |
| (peanut butter balls, chocolate ginger squares, andes chocolate, mint florentines, peanut butter blossoms) |
 |
| (devilish marshmallow bites, oatmeal peanut butter, cookies n cream, white chocolate cran oatmeal) |
It was a cookie-palooza if ever there was one. I learned that you MUST bring a big empty container when you go to a cookie exchange. As it was, I waited until my container was almost gone, transferred the remainder to a plate and then made my way around the tables. I froze all of the normal cookies and left the marshmallow, frosting laden treats out for an easy, fun dessert for the family. This was a ton of fun. Definitely something that I want to do again in the future.

Great idea for a party this. I really should bring this up to my friends here... a real cookie swap, not a virtual one where I only get to drool!
How awesome is this! I so wish I was there!!
I LOVE cookie exchanges...except for the part where you have to bake dozens of cookies ;) You got some great goodies!!!
looks like the cookie swap was a success!, I noticed your comments are up into your post,mine alwasy did that & I discovered that if you'll click enter about 3 times to scroll down a bit after the end of a post it'll stop that from doing that, hope that helps

What a great collection of cookies! Saw your post via @BusyAtHome on Twitter. If you register your cookie exchange via Glad to Give, they will donate 10-cents for each one to Cookies For Kids' Cancer research. :)http://www.glad.com/promotions/
