Cookie Exchange Party

Today we are having our cookie exchange  Yesterday I posted about the cookies I made but since today is also List it Tuesday I thought I would list the cookies that others were bringing for tonight.  Before my list I would like to share the invitation that was sent and the menu I am using for tonight.  We have also invited spouses/significant others/friends this year and are using them as judges for the cookies.  I expect to have a wonderful time since we are having a wonderful group of people joining us.

My Invitation
 
 
My Menu


 
And here is the List of Cookies being brought:
 
  1. Candy Cane Sugar Cookies
  2. Chocolate Cherry Bubbles
  3. Cherry Winks
  4. Coconut Snowball Truffles
  5. Milk Chocolate Almond Brickle
  6. Mini Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies
  7. No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
  8. Peanut Butter Blossoms
  9. Peanut Butter Cookies with Blackberry Jam
  10. Peanut Butter Meltaways
  11. Military Nockyouonyourass Rum Balls 
I have a table all set up for the soup and salad buffet.
 
 
 
 
and another table for the cookies.
 
  
 
Each cookie has a nametag, a plate to put out the cookies for tasting
and space behind for the cookies to be taken home.
 
 
  Each cookie has been assigned a number and the judges will place their choice by number into a container in front of each wrapped gift....Most Delicious, Most Unique, and Most Beautiful.
 
 
 
 
I couldn't decide which goes better with cookies......Coffee or Milk.....so I decided to meet in the middle and make White Russians.
 
 
 
White Russians
 
1 shot coffee liquor
1 shot vodka
1/2 c. Milk or Cream
 
Mix all ingredients.  Serve over ice.

    I think a white Russian goes well with everything :) This sounds like so much fun. I have never been to a cookie exchange. Does each guest go home with cookies made by others?

      Yes, each person brings 1 dozen cookies per guest plus cookies for tasting. In this case we are having 8 guests so each will go home with 7 dozen different kinds of cookies plus whatever cookie they made themselves. It is a fun and easy way to have lots of variety without all the work involved.

      That would be awesome. Maybe I will have to try doing this some year in the future...
