What a great website! I love the idea of cookie exchanges! I think it's too late for a Christmas cookie exchange, but I'm planning on a St. Valentine's cookie exchange and I'll definately be using some of your ideas and recipes. Sincerely, Robin Castellanos

I had a cookie exchange last night and it went great. The invitation called for only 3 - 4 dozen cookies each and I felt that was just enough. I purchased bakery boxes from the bakery and that was an easy way to distribute the cookies. Also, we had a "White Elephant" Gift Exchange which was pure entertainment! Thanks for all your help!

Robin, Many years ago in Pittsburgh,Pa.The cookie exchange was a great way for myself and my friends whom were all young mothers to get a great sellection of home baked cookies for Chrisrmas. A few of us would try to come up with the most unusual cookie.We always had a great time and an evening away from the kids and husbands. Your sight was a reminder of a wonderful time years ago. Thanks for the memories. Patty O'Kain(Tucson)

I am the chief cookie maker around our house and the wife and kids are the cookie tasters, I also help with the latter of course. Anyway, good luck and I enjoyed the web site and will re-visit. tony

Hi Robin, I was happened to be watching the foodnetwork show this morning and I saw your Christmas cookie exchange. I pulled up your website and saw all your friends that were on the show. I never seldom back cookies, but you have inspired me to give it try. The interest has always been there but I never got around to it. I forwarded your website to my daughter who participates in a Christmas cookie exchange with women on her street. I forwareded her your website. Thanks to you and all your friends for sharing their receipes. Wishing you and your friends a very Merry Christmas. Barb. P.S - I like your website! I will visit again soon.

I love your site...I am going to a cookie swap at work next Monday and am baking Pecan Tassies today for that. Based on Sarah Moulton's show yesterday, I am thinking of beginning a yearly traditional cookie swap with my best friend (of 45 yrs - I am 48 today!) each year and will use your tips. You certainly have terrific ideas and wonderful spirit! Merry Christmas. Kitt Jacques

Dear Robin: Your website is PERFECT! Just the information I need to begin a new Christmas tradition. My only concern is that I won't have enough women interested. What if only 4 or 5 can come? Is it still worth having? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this! Sincerely, Monica Crumley Gold River, CA (suburb east of Sacramento)
