Today, in that same spirit, you’re cordially invited to the Modern Mrs Darcy Holiday Cookie Exchange.
#EASY COOKIE RECIPES FOR COOKIE SWAP CODE#
At my first cookie exchange, it was immediately obvious that the range of tastes and traditions was far broader than I’d imagined-and most of my fellow Girl Scouts didn’t even leave their own zip code to attend! I learned other families treasured recipes I’d never seen or tried before: macaroons (utterly foreign to my palate), anything chocolate-dipped (too much trouble in my household of origin) or with maraschino cherries (we never bought them). Even when I was far too young to truly grasp that every family lives (and eats) differently and my own family experience was by no means normative, I could see that truth in other people’s baking. The thing I loved most about my early cookie exchange experiences was the sheer variety. (Readers, I’m so curious: is this a regional thing? Tell us in comments!) Some were extremely strict about the rules (less fun, I think), some were more casual and freewheeling (more fun), but no matter what form they took, my favorite part was getting to see what other households chose to bake. I attended a fair number of cookie exchanges as a child in my Upper South hometown. It’s a party where every guest brings a designated number of cookies to share and to swap, and everyone leaves with a nice variety of cookies. If you don’t know how a cookie exchange works, let me paint a picture for you. I loved the holidays, I loved parties, I loved cookies-it sounded fantastic! It was happening in my house, in the formal dining room (fancy!), and my whole Girl Scout Troop of seven- and eight-year-olds was invited. A big thank you!!
