Celebrate the season with family, friends and food! Cookie swaps are a great way to share the giving spirit of the holidays. Cookie swaps are an opportunity for everyone to make and share their favorite holiday cookie recipes. Hosting a swap is fun and easy. Here are some tips for hosting the perfect holiday cookie swap:

• Ask each of your friends to make a batch of their favorite holiday cookies and bring a copy of the recipe to the party.
  
• Make sure each invitee brings enough cookies and recipe copies for each guest. Each guest should leave with as many cookies as they brought, plus extras to sample and enjoy during the party
  
• Remind guests to bring empty containers so they can take their selection of cookies home.
