lmost any excuse for a party will do during the holiday season, but one of the best is a cookie swap. It is a great way to gather with friends, escape the hustle and bustle, and satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth.
The most important thing about a cookie swap is to make it fun and stress-free, recommends HOLLY WHITE, home baker and owner of Stella Blace Bakes. To do so, she says, set an early date, such as the beginning of December, for your cookie swap. Then things aren’t too hectic, the cookie swap gets people in a holiday mood, and your guests will have plenty of cookies throughout the season. White also recommends limiting your guest list to about six people. That way the baking doesn’t get burdensome, and your guests will have a variety of cookies to DECEMBER 2021
