I am having my 3rd annual cookie exchange. It is so much fun and keeps growing each year. Everyone brings 4 dozen cookies and we put them all on a table and go around taking 3 of each until they are all gone. Everyone seems to enjoy it. I make snacks. People place orders and I draw to give away the host benefits.

I just bought all the ingredients the other day to try those cookie ball truffle things that are in the new Holiday mini catalog. The recipe is on CC. I also was thinking of doing something early in December as my own Cookie Exchange party and then would give away the host benefits.

Thats definatly what I am thinking. . . I willl have to look at the cookie ball truffle. . .I make Cake Pops and I know they are a huge hit maybe these will be easier.

This is a great idea! I always do a Holiday Gift Fair show at my house in December, but I've never thought about making it a cookie exchange or even making cookies at it. Can you say "duh"?!

I love the Cookie Ball Truffle recipes and am eager to try them. If you have the Cookie Press, that's also a great thing to demo even if you don't cook what people make. Just having them try it will sell it. It's so easy.

I did a fun Holiday show for one of my hosts last year where we did the Cookie Press cookies (we did the peanut butter ones -- 1 cup flour, 1 egg, 1 cup peanut butter -- yum!), brownie bites (brownie mix in the mini muffin pan with cherries, nuts or other things squished into them) and chocolate-covered everything using the double boiler. I hadn't thought about doing that same stuff for my own show, but I think I will this year. It was way too much fun.

Sorry I don't have an invitation for it. I tend to use Evite for my shows.

I always do the ESP cookies and sell the cookie press to everyone!
One egg, one cup sugar, and one cup peanut butter. So easy and yummy!

Oh, riiiight! It's sugar, not flour. Thanks for fixing that. I knew it was easy, but I should have remembered there was no flour. I like thinking of them as "ESP" -- now I'll never forget!
