Today I'm sharing some tips for hosting a cookie exchange party that is simple but super fun. The women in our family have been getting together for the past five years to exchange cookies. It's one of the highlights of Christmas because we simply have so much fun. I'm also sharing my grandma's cut-out cookie recipe that is so delicious that I even made it for favors at my wedding. Be sure to check out my friends below who will be sharing their delicious cookie recipes for our virtual cookie exchange. Yum!
