What a wonderful site. So many cookies to bake, so little time. I had been thinking about having a neighborhood cookie exchange for a couple years now. I wasn't really sure just how to go about it, now, I think I can have a perfect one. Thanks for sharing such an informative site.

This is one of the easiest and best peanut butter cookie recipes I've ever found. I got it from an old Jif recipe cookbook about 30 years ago.

Dear Robin, Please write to me and let me know your last name and where you live in Maryland. I am thinking of using some of the tips from your site, with credit of course, in a story on cookie exchanges for Family Circle's holiday magazine that is on the stands in Nov.-Dec. By the way, I have a great flourless peanut butter cookie recipe you may be interested in if you don't have it. It is easy and amazing. I am a food writer at newsday, a large daily paper in Long Island, NY, but am doing the cookie swap story as a freelance project. My phone is 631-843-2903; fax 631-843-2375. Your web site was helpful and fun to read. Thanks a lot, Sylvia Carter

I enjoy your web site and cookie exchange ideas! I had an exchange on 12/12/99 at my church. We are making a souvenir booklet for all who attended of the recipes submitted and the cookies baked! It will also give us an idea of past attendance and what we brought. Thanks for the great web site.

I love your web site. Your appearance on TV was great! It was very funny and a lot of us can relate to the fun, excitement, and sometimes STRESS of a cookie exchange. We are cousins of Angela and are very proud of her TV and baking debut! Happy baking!

I enjoyed the article in the Gazette about your cookie party. I have been baking and mailing Christmas cookies to family/friends/business associates for 10 years. My husband and I average 30 containers/1200 cookies each Christmas. I am planning to try out some of your recipes. What a great website!!! Your annual Christmas cookie exchange is a wonderful idea. I hope I start one next year too. Keep up the good work. -Ann Gassert

I saw your cookie swap show on one of the cable food networks. Unfortunately, it was the day before Christmas so I had no time to throw a party together. It seems like such a wonderful holiday get together (I like the "girls only" idea.) I kept talking about it over the dinner table with my family. They all thought I was a little nuts getting excited over a cookie swap. I told them that my New Year's Resolution is to make more time for friends to fit into my daily crazy, wonderfully full life. A Cookie Swat seems to be a great start. Unfortunately I have to wait a year, but what a party it will be with a year to plan. Thanks for your ideas. Kim

This is my idea of a really great website. I have been collecting cookie recipes for years, although I wind up making the same four or five recipes over and over because those are the ones people ask for. I enjoyed reading your recipes. Many thanks.

Hi Robin, I wish that I had found your page sooner. :-( Sorry I missed your TV show and I won't be able to see it tommorrow, will it be on again next year? I'll bookmark you so that I don't forget. This idea sounds like a lot of fun, especially the part where you say "it's a girls party, no men allowed!" *VBG* Merry Christmas from LA!
