‘Tis the season for holiday baking with lots of cookies and many a cookie exchange party! Do YOU participate in a cookie exchange party each year? Truth be told, I never have. They sound like SO much fun!!! But, I’ve never been invited to one! đ And, I was going to host one this year–I even have the CUTEST kit to do it with (wait ’til the end), but unfortunately life has had a way of getting in the way of my cookie plans this year! I’m hoping that next year is the year! đ
But, whether you have a fun cookie exchange party to participate in or are just doing some holiday baking for family/friends, here’s a round-up of some fabulous ideas…








For baking and cookie exchanges, you could also do “cookie bars” instead. Here are few delicious options:



So many great recipes! And, for that Cookie Exchange Party that I am definitely going to have sometime, check out this adorable cookie exchange kit! đ
