Cookie Exchange: A Holiday Tradition
Some of my favorite things about the holidays are; amazing parties, opportunities to show our appreciation to friends, beautiful decorations and displays, delicious food and wine and the many traditions we embrace during this festive time of year. Unfortunately, as with most everything in 2020, the Pandemic has impacted all that we do and how we interact, or don’t, with our peeps.
With this reality in mind, two ideas that seem to be particularly unlikely companions are the Pandemic and a holiday cookie exchange. Not to be denied, Eleanor Andersen and I put our heads together again and came up with a safe, successful and scrumptious plan. The most important part of this endeavor was the health and safety of our friends, so it all started with a strict protocol for the day–wearing masks and social distancing.

The Safe, Successful and Scrumptious Plan
As each guest responded to Eleanor’s well-written invitation with their cookie recipe, I got to work creating a cookie cookbook for everyone, using all of their recipes. Once finished, these little ornament shaped books were then placed in individual ziplock bags to be included with the rest of the goodies.
Next, we needed something for a photo opportunity so I came up with a large wreath which I decorated with ribbons and paper seasonal ornamentation.
