Cookie exchange sign up list

A cookie exchange works when everyone knows what they are bringing. Make a list, send one link, and guests sign up with how many cookies they will swap, so you end up with a nice mix.

Tips for a smoother get together

Ask guests to note the cookie type

When someone claims a spot, they can add a short note like "peanut butter" next to their name. You see the mix before the party and can avoid six batches of sugar cookies.

Set the count up front

Decide how many dozen each person brings and how many each person takes home. Put it in the list title or note so it is clear.

Add a savory option

After a few cookies people want something salty. Ask one or two guests to bring a savory snack.

Have containers ready

Tins, boxes or bags make the swap easy. Put them on the list so someone brings extras.
