There’s nothing more exciting than freshly baked cookies to kick-off the holiday season. This year, is the perfect opportunity to host a virtual cookie swap with friends and loved ones. I’m sharing tips and a checklist, to get you started, and this collection featuring 100 of the Best Christmas Cookies is the only recipe resource you’ll need.
How to Plan a Virtual Cookie Swap with 100 of the Best Christmas Cookies
First things first, what is a virtual cookie swap? Well, for starters instead of meeting in person, plan an online event where you can chat and swap recipes digitally. You may choose to bake at home live together, then do a drive-thru swap if you’d rather deliver in person. I have other options below so, keep reading. It’s all about doing what is safe for you, your family and friends.
- Pick a theme, make a guest list and invite participants, at least 2-3 weeks in advance. The more the merrier!
- Share this collection of 100 of the Best Christmas Cookies and each person can choose their favorite cookie recipe to make.
- Send out instructions on how the cookie swap will work and pick an RSVP date. Ask the type of cookie each person will be contributing to ensure that you’ll have a variety of flavors with no overlap. It’s also helpful to know how many cookies will be featured. This will give ample time for everyone to plan.
- Pick a number to share. Ask each participant to bake an equal amount of cookies for every person in the group. For example, if 10 bakers are participating, and the share number is one dozen each, they’ll need to bake a total of 120 cookies for the group. The amount of cookies each contributes can be adjusted any way you wish.
- You may choose to opt for a drive thru swap at a chosen designation. Likewise, you may choose to mail your creations.
- A third option you could consider, each participant would deliver on a designated day. You could arrange to leave carefully wrapped cookies in a safe place for the family to collect, such as a covered porch area. By the end of the delivery day, each participant should have several varieties of cookies to enjoy. Go with the plan that’s most feasible and safe, for your individual situation.
- Ask your guests to share the source of their recipes to reference, like a digital cookbook of the event, as a keepsake.
- Each guest should share tips regarding their cookie recipe. Things such as, these cookies are best eaten within a week, stored in an airtight container or refrigerated.
- Be careful, and practice good hand washing and surface cleaning while preparing your contributions.
- Should you choose to host a live online baking event, choose a music playlist you can all enjoy while baking together.
- If mailing cookies is your delivery option, it’s important to choose recipes that are shelf stable and don’t require refrigeration.
- Encourage your participants to bake extra to share with local first responders, to show their appreciation for their hard work and dedication.
