What is a cookie swap?

In a cookie swap everyone takes home a great selection of cookies they normally wouldn't have had time to bake or wouldn't have known how to cook if you love to make cookies you can exchange recipes at the gathering too. The best thing is you may get some cookies that you have never had the opportunity to taste before and a recipe to give them a try.

You could even theme your event and give each participant a country to cook a speciality cookie or sweet delight from. There really are no hard and fast rules other than to have fun. If you are setting up one with kids it could be just having fun decorating the cookies.

There is one requirement that you must stick to. No one is allowed to bring store brought cookies (unless highly decorated!). It ruins the excitement for those who spent time baking. A store brought cookie just isn't the same as a cookie crafted at home.

If you decide to organise a cookie exchange party this invites are a great way of letting your friends and family know all about your cookie swap. If you want your guests to share in a fair way include your etiquette as part of you invite
