Homemade cookies and the holidays go hand in hand. Celebrate the season with a festive party where everyone arrives with one variety and leaves with an assortment. Make your contribution stand out with one of these fun (and yummy) recipes.
- Ask friends to say what type of cookie they're bringing when they RSVP so you can avoid duplicates. - Ask each guest to bring at least four dozen cookies -- a dozen for munching on at the party and the rest for others to take home.
- Prep a long table or a few smaller tables to display the cookies. - If any guests have food allergies, be sure allergen-containing cookies are clearly marked. - Offer treat boxes and tissue paper for your friends to use to carry their cookies home.
