Cookie exchanges are so much fun. It’s a fantastic way to try out new cookie recipes and show off your baking skills. Spend a day baking and then divvy up the cookies in a decorative tin or box for gift-giving. Don’t forget to include the recipe! In return, you receive dozens of cookies to enjoy and your Christmas baking is complete.

Make sure to clear out some room in your freezer so you can store the cookies to last throughout the coming weeks.

      I love Christmas cookies! Yummy! My favorite to make for an exchange are Mexican Wedding Cookies or Corn Flake Wreaths. They were my mother’s favorites too. Thanks for the additional recipes!

    2. Oooo so many cookies! We generally make short bread cookies

    3. I usually make chocolate snowballs.

    4. I’m doing my baking this weekend, I’m sure to try a few of these recipes. They all sound (and look) delicious.

      I love making Peanut Butter Church windows! Always a hit!

      I love cookie exchanges. It’s so nice to try out everyone else’s favorite recipes. My favortie recipe is for a shortbread cut out cookie with lots of frosting on them.

    8. Catherine Wooster says:

      I love old-fashioned sugar cookies,but wish I could find a simpler recipe

    9. Sherry Compton says:

      I knew before I ever opened the collection I was in trouble. The cooler weather and holiday spirit just calls for baking. Cookies are great to give…and eat. While chocolate chip are my favorite, and eating the dough is a pleasure, I love trying new recipes.

    10. Jennifer McLean says:

      This is such a great idea for people without allergies. So easy peasy to end up with a bunch of recipes you didn’t have to make but you can make the ones you’re good at.

    11. My fave cookie to bake is shortbread

    12. Lorraine Wiebe says:

      Love shortbread cookies look so good and nice to have this site for cookie exchange

    13. I’ve held many cookie exchanges over the years, but I have a rule that says nobody is allowed to bring either shortbread or sugar cookies to the exchange. Most people make those anyway, so the idea of the exchange is to get something different onto their cookie platters. Be creative. Bring something deliciously different.

    14. If I have the time I like to make date-filled oatmeal sandwich cookies. always a hit

    15. I love making Russian Tea Cakes and rum balls for exchanges!!

    16. I always wanted to do a Christmas exchange like this!! Maybe next year this year is so crazy!!

    17. I love the good old fashioned Butter Shortbread!

    18. Nena Sinclair says:

      I’m half Scottish, so shortbread cookies are a must! 🙂

      I want to try them all
