I love this time of year and look forward to tons of fun, great food and spending time with friends and family.

The holiday season can be hectic, but I don’t mind. I look forward to the hustle and bustle and do my best to plan ahead so I can spend as much time as possible with loved ones making memories.

One of my favorite things to do this time of year is a cookie exchange. I typically host a couple of parties and attend a few more. A cookie exchange gives me an excuse to hang out with friends and family AND sample lots of goodies!

Typically everyone brings at least one batch of cookies and a copy of the recipe for each guest…we usually do two cookies or bars. All of the baked goods are put out for folks to sample. Then, at the end of the party, everyone gets a little bag or box to package up their favorites. So you get an evening of fun plus a ton of baked goods for other holiday festivities!
