Phoenixville, PA USA - Wednesday, November 28, 2001 at 08:17:35 (EST)I was interested in having a cookie exchange party and have always heard about them but have never been to one. So I thought about having one myself. I have lived here in this neighborhood for 10 months and think it is a fun way to get the neighborhood together. Your ideas, recipes, invitations have really helped. Thank You, Linda

Austin, Tx USA - Monday, November 26, 2001 at 21:28:55 (EST)Suggestion:My daughter and I make our own 'containers' by purchasing round cake trays, placing a doilly on top and covering it with saran wrap. We than make cellophane bags for each tray by ironing the celophane to the size bag we need. Each guest leaves with a professional looking bakery tray. Don't forget to tie each bag closed with some beautiful curly Christmas ribbon!

Sickllerville, NJ USA - Friday, November 23, 2001 at 22:01:20 (EST)Hi There, I am hosting a Cookie Exchange at work for the second year. It is quite fun and it gets alot of people in the Christmas spirit. There will be 14 attending so we will all bake 7 dozen cookies and each person wraps their cookies in half dozens. Since it is at work and we don't have much time we each take a package from everyone and we leave with 14 different types of cookies. We will bring in extras for "taste test" also :) It is great fun :) I enjoyed your website :)

I lost my receipe from last year and my boys are not very happy. I know it contained plain flour, sugar, butter but cannot remember the exact ingredients. If possible, can you assist me??
