(NC)-It wouldn't be the Holiday Season without delicious homemade festive cookies. And hosting a Cookie Exchange is a great way to enjoy everyone's favourite holiday cookies as well as go home with a bountiful supply of them. It is also a lovely way to spend time with friends and family - either at home or at work.
The Robin Hood Test Kitchen shares some tips that take the guesswork out of hosting a Cookie Exchange:
- Invite about 6 - 10 people to your home or place of work for a Cookie Exchange and make sure they RSVP. At work, consider a lunch-hour Exchange.
- Ask guests to bake a dozen cookies for each guest attending, plus an extra dozen to taste.
- Have guests bring their cookies in containers that they can take their cookie assortment home in - plastic freezer containers work well.
- Have guests think about choosing a favourite family recipe or one traditional to their background. Ensure there is no duplication to guarantee the best variety.
- Bring baked cookies that hold their shape well and have no soft icings that would get messy in transit.
- Make sure each guest brings copies of their recipe to pass around.
- Have platters ready for the cookies brought for sampling.
- Bake your cookies a day or two in advance.
- Make sure that cookies can be frozen so that they can be enjoyed throughout the holiday season.
- When you get home repack so you don't store soft cookies with crisp ones.
- Provide sparkling water, coffee or tea and a supply of small plates and napkins for the tasting.
