Party to Pretties – Cookie Swap!
One of my favorite things about the holidays is all the cooking and baking and eating that goes on!! When I was little, my mom would throw these amazing cookie swaps – all I remember is sneaking out in my pjs and seeing a table covered in hundreds of different sweet treats. Everyone brings a few dozen cookies, you get to try anything you like, and then leave with handfuls of different recipes – it can’t get much better than that huh?

Jordan ~ Your blog just makes me happy. Thank you!
Oooh such pretty baking accoutrements! Makes me want to get in the kitchen right now. Alas, I’m at work.
Work: Getting in the way of baking cookies since forever.

I really love the idea of a cookie swap! I think it’s mainly an American concept so I’ve never really done it, but I totally could get on board with the idea!
Love the nom nom nom towel!
I’m actually going to my first cookie swap this weekend! And I can’t decide what to make. I’ve been doing a lot of cooking the last couple of weekends, lots of peppermint flavored things. I have to admit – I’m sort of tired of crushing peppermints and candy canes. I guess I’ll just have to bake something new ; )
I LOVE cookie parties. I’ve been to a couple and they have been completely wonderful. Something about a bunch of ladies huddled in the kitchen baking, swapping stories and recipes, feels so right. It doesn’t hurt to have a little spiked eggnog or irish coffee either.
Now this is my kind of party! Love it and love baking Christmas cookies.
LOVE cookie swaps! I just posted about how to throw one on my blog last week. SO many good cookies to try and a great excuse to get together with your girlfriends!
the nom nom nom tea towel is too funny!
I adore the ceramic milk jug! I saw a glass one the other day at http://www.shopterrain.com and I just think they’re the coolest thing.
Love your post. Heading to my first cookie swap party this wkd. Care to share your favorite cookie recipe?
This is an adorable post! That first photo looks sooooo delicious!
oh my goodness… my mom used to go to cookie swaps all the time! We used to stay up so late just waiting for her to get home with the goodies! I think it is such a sweet tradition and really want to start it with my friends!
Love your apron! Holly cow cute! Love cookies parties…had one last week.
Merry Christmas
