Simple Secrets for Hosting Cookie Swaps

Celebrated cookie exchange hostess, Robin Olson, has whipped together helpful party tips to yield delicious cookies and lasting friendships. Try her recipe for cookie exchange success:

Time it right. Choose a convenient date and time, perhaps a weekend morning. Limit the party to two or three hours.
Keep it small. Eight to 12 guests makes for good conversation and plenty of cookies.
Take it home. Ask attendees to send recipes in advance, and make a recipe book to use as a party favor.
Mix it up. Ensure guests don’t all show up with gingerbread cookies. Ask what type of cookie guests are bringing when they RSVP. Swap cookies during the party to end up with a mix of delectable holiday sweets.
Bake it well. Use the simple secret to better baking, Reynolds® Parchment Paper, to make party-perfect cookies.

Minttens Sandwich Cookies

Roll Dough with Ease
Place dough between two sheets of Reynolds Parchment Paper to prevent sticking and keep work surfaces clean.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Cut Clean-Up Time
Arrange cookie dough on sheets of parchment paper so you don’t have to devote time to scrubbing cookie sheets. Baking on parchment paper also ensures cookies bake up evenly and slide right off the cookie sheet.

Buttery Sugar Cookies

Stack Cookies Safely
To transport cookies to and from the party, place a sheet of parchment paper between layers of cookies. This protects decorations and prevents cookies from sticking to each other.
