Holiday Cookie Exchange Party

Here's a suggestion for a fun and tasty way to celebrate the holiday season with

, family, co-workers, PTA, Scouts or any other group gathering...

Ask everyone to make 4 dozen

s, candies or bars. Tell them to put one or two dozen on a "plate to pass" (depending on how many people will be there) and then to put 4 of each of the remaining treats in separate small plastic bags, with the name of what they are either written in marker or labeled however they choose to do it. Including the recipe is a wonderful

, too.

Put the smaller bags off to the side while you are celebrating or holding your meeting, enjoying the various goodies from the dozen each person brought along and then before they leave they each get to select 3 or 4 of the small bags to take home!

You can vary the amount of

s, etc you ask people to bring and take home depending on how many folks are attending the get together.

We did this at work last year, it was great.

It's a fun way to try some things you never had before or enjoy some favorites

And it also allows people a bunch of

s and treats to share with their own families when they get home.
