The cookie recipes look like they will taste good and be easy enough to make. My family is looking for some new cookies this year and i think I may have found a few. Now I wish I could come to Robin's Cookie Exchange.

Robin I just found out about your cookie exchange and website! I love it!! I have 2 daughters ages 4 and 12 and this would be a great idea for a new family traditon! My husband will definitely volunteer as official cookie taster! I'm think this idea would make a fantastic theme for their birthday parties also. I can't wait to try the recipes on your site and I'll let you know how my first Cookie Exchange goes! Thanks and Keep up the great work!!!! :) Sincerely a fellow cookie lover, Robin Gump p.s.

Hello, Robin! By chance, caught your special on the FoodTV network on cookie exchanges! What a great feeling to somehow be connected to all these wonderful bakers across N.America. Between 12 and 14 friends in our small rural community have been having a slice/cookie exchange for four years now. We love the preparation, the stories, the closeness and of course, the recipes and food! Our husbands and partners have now learned what they recieve out of this event and encourage our evening out! Thank-you to all the beautful women who shared their stories and styles of their Christmas kick-off! Glenda Danbrook Avid cookie lover/baker

I am enjoying your page. My husband and I just moved here from Ga. and I am thinking of hosting a cookie exchange party for the ladies on our street so that I might get to know all of them. There would be about 12 ladies in all. I really had not planned to do a lunch, but maybe just finger sandwiches and a dessert, as some of these ladies I have not even met yet. What do you think? Advise appreciated! Thanks, Kay

Robin, I found your web site when I decided to host a cookie exchange and didn't have the first clue of what to do. I made invitations and hand carried them to my guests (they were quite elaborate, if I had your address I'd mail you one). Anyway, my exchange is coming up so I decided to check back to your site and was excited to see the Food TV program information. I'll be watching. Enjoy and have a wonderful holiday season.

I've used your suggestions for our cookie exchange party that will be next week, 12/9/01. I really appreciate your ideas. Some people are really nervous about baking these cookies!!! This is my first cookie exchange party. My neighbor and I decided to do it to get the neighbors together during the holiday season. There's still alot to do! I'm really excited, though. Wish us luck!! Thank you!!!

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

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!

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 :)

All your receipes sound really great. I am after (for my two boys) a soft Cookie receipe. 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??

Robin, I've used your web site the last couple of cookie exchanges and I love it! It really gets me in the holiday spirit. Some people gave me grief last year because I decided to send your "Rules of the Cookie" exchange with the invitation, but it yielded great results. Hey, they are asking me when it is this year! Thanks again! Stephanie

Great Site! I've decided to host my first cookie exchange in my home this year. About five years ago I organized a cookie exchange but we met at a restaurant and just passed the cookies around the table. I searched under "Cookie Exchanges" because I needed to refresh my memory on the rules. I found more info than I expected. Thank you very much.

I was encouraged last year when I saw a Christmas Cookie Exchange on Sara Moulton's cooking program on Food TV. It must have been your cookie exchange party that was televised! I'm hosting my first cookie exchange this year, and am very excited about it. I've received several tips from your website. Thank you!
