Holiday cookies seem to be a timeless tradition that hold a special place in everyone's heart, but with today's busy schedules it's hard to find the time to whip up a variety of holiday treats. Why not simplify your holiday baking this year with a cookie exchange? It's the ultimate multi-purpose holiday party...you can get together with your friends, have a few cocktails, share holiday spirit and most importantly walk away with a delightful assortment of goodies for the upcoming holiday season.

1) Start by sending out invitations well in advance so each guest has a chance to bake her offering. Ask each guest to bring a certain quantity of cookies as well as copies of her recipe and containers or plates to take her goodies home.
2) Decide what type of cookie to bake and try to coordinate ahead of time to avoid duplicates by having guests RSVP with their cookie flavor.
3) At the exchange it helps to know which cookie is which so put folding cards in front of each variety with the cookie's name on them and who it's from.
4) Have a large table clear for displaying and sampling the cookies.
5) Eat & enjoy! Every guest will leave with a variety of delicious holiday cookies and not have to lift a finger for the rest of the holiday season...well almost.
