Spread holiday cheer by inviting family and friends over for a festive (and easy!) cookie swap. The secret to avoiding extra stress? Betty Crocker cookie mixes. These shortcut cookies and bars are as festive and delicious as they come!
Hosting a cookie exchange is an easy (and delicious) way to gather friends and family during the holiday season—and walk away with enough cookies to last you through Christmas! Here are our expert tips to make your next cookie swap the best one ever!
Send out invitations
Mail or email holiday-themed invites for the party, asking each guest to bake a different cookie recipe. Each guest should bake about a half dozen cookies for every person attending. For example, if you’re inviting eight people, everyone should bake four dozen cookies.
Print the recipes
Once the invites have been sent, make a copy of every cookie recipe for each guest. Keep it festive by downloading these adorable (and free!) cookie swap recipe cards.
