Re: Dec. GTG (updated)

  • I still haven't figured out what I am making - can I have a reprieve until Sunday?  I am a cookie exchange virgin, how does this work?  Do we bring X dozen split them up so each person receives an equal amount of each kind of cookie?
  • 2-3 dozen sounds good to me.  I'll likely be bringing thumbprint cookies.
  • That's fine Denise...I'm not sure what I'm making yet either!  Yes, you will bring 2-3 dozen cookies and then everyone gets to take home a couple of each cookie that is brought. 
  • Does anyone follow Joelen's blog? http://joelens.blogspot.com/2007/12/holiday-cookie-swap-2008.html   She did a cookie exchange last year and there are lots of yummy cookies listed on the blog entry.  I may take one from there if I am not feeling any of my stand bys.

    Another great idea was that everyone had 2 containers . . one with your cookies and then an empty one. Then they just set all the empty containers on the table and everyone went around and just place cookies in them til they're gone.  Are we also bringing printed recipes for everyone?

    Yeah I was going to let everyone know about bringing containers in the email tomorrow.  Bringing printed recipes sounds like a great idea too!  Thanks for suggesting it! 

  • I have no idea --- It will be something different then listed above !!
  • I know I'm late and I apologize, but I am coming!  I'll probably be making Snickerdoodles...along with bringing my containers and recipe copies.
  • Those are definitely great ideas Jen! 
  • Yes, please on the printed recipes!!  The last exchange I went to we had to make a dozen cookies per person so everyone got a dozen of each kind plus the recipe. Thanks for the reprieve. LOL!

  • I am going to make Anise Cookies.  I am not sure if any of you have had or made these but up here in glorious NEPA...they are all the rage.  They are at every bake sale and cookie exchange.  My MIL makes them every year and my DH can't get enough of them.  They have a slight licorise flavor...pretty yummy.

  • i will be at the GTG.  i am going to be making white chocolate chocolate cookies.  they are a reverse choc chip.  white choc chips with a choc cookie, very good!
  • Did we decide how many cookies we need to bring?  It would make sense if we each bring the same amount so we don't miss out on any of the yummy cookies!  It looks like there are 15 nesties, so we should make at least 30 cookies so we each take 2. If we make 3 dozen that would be enough in case more people come.
  • Yeah, I mentioned 2-3 doz but we got a couple more people coming so I would say 3 dozen as well.  I will send out the final email later this afternoon.
