I watched your segment on the food network Sunday, December 17,2000. Loved it!! A friend and I have just started this tradition in our neighborhood. It took some work, no one wanted to bake "homemade" cookies, but we persisted and now we are questioned in November about the December date for our swap. We always have it on a Wed. night around the 15th of the month. It was a success this year, with the cookies getting better and better every year, now that they know they can bake. Thanks for your web site. The rules are great! Merry Christmas. Thanks again for a great show.

Robin, I saw your feature on FoodTV last night and thought "What a wonderful idea"! This morning the first thing I did was log onto your website (even remembered the address after sleeping!). LOVE IT! Then I told my husband that we WILL have a cookie exchange next year! He thought it would be a fun thing to do, he loves baking his own original recipes. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart for a fun idea to share with friends and family. Have a WONDERFUL Holiday Season and Healthy New Year, Dottie

I think your exchange is a wonderful idea. I'm in a corporate office, and for the last two years we have been doing a cookie exchange here. Usually 10 people get involved, and each brings in 60 cookies (6 for each person). We even get the guys involved (kicking and screaming, of course), but we all have a great time. I'm buying a house soon and after seeing your cookie exchange party on Sara's show, I look forward to doing an exchange at home with my friends next year. Keep up the good work!

I'm hosting a cookie exchange on December 20, 2000. I have invited 12 ladies to my party. We are making 7 dozen cookies each and will take home 6 from each person...and sample 6 from each person...or so! I'm searching for just the right game to play...I printed out the Christmas song game on your suggestion board, which I like very much. Last year I went to a cookie exchange at my boss's house and we played a really good "baking" game. She filled a muffin pan with all white baking ingredients, flour, sugar, cream of tartar, salt, etc...and we could smell and feel but could not taste, and she a nice present for the winner. I would like to do that game, but some of the same people are coming so I'd like something new, looking for ideas. I love your site, saw your show tonight on the Food network. Thanks, Jennifer

I was watching a show on channel 52 on the food network I think the person was named Sue Moltan and she had a program on Cookie exchange and you were the first to go on. On the show i really loved the recipes that you and your guests brought to the cookie exchange. I also make cookies for my kids and i especially make more cookies during Christmas and New Years to give away to family and friends. But none to the effect and laborante as the way you host the exchange. I was wondering how could i possibly receive all or some of the recipes that you and your guests brought. It all looked very good and so beautiful. I am starting to host a cookie exchange for next year and i need any details that you could possibly help me with... your consideration will be very much appreciated. Once again please let me know if it is possible to please let me know how could i get a copy of any recipes that you have at your beautiful home when you hosted the cookie exchange... I also need information on how to host a cookie exchange party and how much would i ask my guests to make for the cookie exchange. Yours truly, Sylvia Wiks mrex@chalktv.com

Our neighborhood has an annual exchange, also. We don't have as many rules as you have but one fun thing we do is have a "Mug Exchange". Each guest brings a wrapped mug and then we have a grab bag type exchange. It's fun to see what kind everyone gets--some are Christmas designs but they don't have to be. I always use my Christmas mugs at my exchange for coffee, tea and hot cocoa or hot cider.

I saw the special on Food TV - It was WONDERFUL!!! I am convinced that I saw a cookie I know as Pecan Tassies - they were displayed in your 3 tiered dish. I was hoping the recipe was in your recipe section but I did not see it. Would you happen to have it. It was my favorite recipe which was misplaced when I moved. Your special made me realize how special it was when my friends and I did an exchange so many years ago. You have inspired me to start this wonderful tradition again. THANK YOU!
