Cookie Party Ideas

Hosting the perfect cookie exchange party doesn't have to be complicated or difficult. Here are a few cookie party ideas to help you have a fun exchanging and tasting cookies without any stress.

Make sure you grab the free printables that include an invitation, voting card, recipe card and gift tags to use with for all the Christmas cookies you'll be tasting!

To have a successful cookie swap party or cookie exchange party, all you really need to do is invite a few friends over for cookie tasting, snacks and a few laughs. Don't forget to have your friends bring their favorite cookie recipe!

Most hosts will ask their guests to bring a dozen cookies for each person at the party. That way everyone is sure to go home with a good assortment of cookies to last the holiday season.

What do you serve at a cookie party?

• Try to have a combination of vegetable, bread and protein choices. Vegetables can be served with dip. The bread choice can be as fancy as a puff pastry appetizer or simply crackers with cheese.
• My Christmas Tree Cheeseboard would be a fun addition!
• Protein can be an assortment of meats and cheeses beautifully displayed on a wooden cutting board.
• You don't need to serve anything sweet since you'll be tasting a lot of cookies!
• Don't forget to serve punch, iced tea or hot tea. Sparkling cider is a great choice too!
• It would be really nice to send your guests home with a party favor. Try any one of these Reindeer Hot Chocolate Cones as a cute gift idea.

Cookie Storage Tips

• Store home-baked cookies in an airtight container either at room temperature for 5 days or in the refrigerator for 10 days.
• You can also freeze the cookies after they've been baked. Place the baked cooled cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper in the freezer. After about 30 minutes the cookies should be frozen. Remove them from the tray and place in a freezer safe container or plastic bag.
• Most cookies will keep in the freezer for up to six months.

Cookie Exchange Games

Included in these Free Printables are a Voting Card for you to play as one of the cookie exchange games. Have your guests go around and choose their favorite cookie. Then have gifts or awards to hand out to the winners!
