Everyone wrote down what they were making (to avoid doubles of any type of cookie and things of that nature) and each person made a however many dozen cookies as there were people minus one (unless you wanted to make a dozen for yourself as well). This made things simple as everyone packed their cookies into dozens themselves (some went fancy with containers they purchased, while other simple put them into ziplock bags). It was nice because everyone got a lot of cookies with variety and only having to purchase a few ingredients and follow one recipe. If its through a community i would suggest an email sign up and send out an emailto let everyone know exactly how you want it done Have fun I did a cookie exchange through my work once and we simply signed up for it.

It is a good idea to determine what kind of cookie each person is going to make ahead of time and exactly how many dozen. One gal made a very expensive cookie with a lot of steps and work involved (ingredients included chocolate and pricey nuts). Another gal made a simple sugar cookie and I think she made it with margarine (egad!). It created a lot of bad feelings when it could have been prevented with some agreements at the outset. It's a great idea though and now that you write the post, I'm thinking I should get one rolling. Thanks!

It’s a great idea though and now that you write the post, I’m thinking I should get one rolling. Thanks!

See, just learned something new. Thanks for the food saving idea! I never knew by microwaving the tortilla chips, they’d be crispy again. See, just learned something new.
