Cookie Swap - Award Categories
Hi
I'm hosting my 6th annual cookie swap and we make it into a competition -- We vote via secret ballot and then my DH tallies it up and gives out the awards -- what do you think of these categories?
- Most Festive
- Best use of chocolate
- Yummiest Cookie
- Most Creative
- Most Original
Any suggestion are greatly appreciated!
Re: Cookie Swap - Award Categories
This may be dumb, but we never actually eat the cookies at my cookie swap so the yummiest award may be hard to do. Also, aren't creative and original sort of the same?
I might just do an overall most festive, most creative chocolate, most creative non-chocolate.

At ours, everyone brings an extra dozen to go on the plate to eat right then. Gotta have something to wash down that wine!
At my cookie swap, I also have everyone bring an extra dozen for judging. Usually the guys that are there (DH, DH's cousin's H, 2 of DH's friend's) are usually the judges.
I give out a prize for best overall cookie with all of those criteria and then I have a prize for some Holiday Trivia. This year the theme is "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation."
