With holiday baking in full force, a Christmas cookie exchange party is the absolute best way to spread your baking love with friends.
Over the weekend, my good friends Mel and Lauren hosted a delicious cookie soirée. Each girl brought a batch of their favorite Christmas cookies {and recipe card} to give away, and in return went home with a plethora of cookies, lots of new recipes, and a sugar coma.
Our lovely hosts!
We nibbled on all sorts of yummy appetizers before the “swap”!

Ho Ho Punch: 1 bottle of chilled champagne, 1 bottle of chilled ginger ale, and 2 packages of frozen strawberries, partially thawed. |

It was so much fun to get a ton of friends together, share the holiday spirit and stock up on lots of different holiday cookies!
