I would love to try a cookie swap, I think it would really help to get the guests involved with the show by bringing either their favorite receipe to trade or something. . .Any suggestions or has anyone done anything like this before???? :confused:
 
Pampered chef has recipe booklets you can purchase in paper work supply. There get for cookie shows. These I usually do around christmas. You can demonstrate the cookie press and make one batter and turn it into several different kinds of cookies. I've done that and ask everyone to bring X amount of cookies to exchange and the recipe as well to share.

you should practice with the cookie press first to make sure you got it down. Hope this helps.

I haven't tried a cookie swap yet but am thinking about it for later at the end of the year. These are a couple of flyers I found.

Wow! I'm a new consultant and your cookie swap flyer is great! I will be trying this during the Christmas holidays.
Thanks.

Hi there! As a Pampered Chef consultant, I highly recommend incorporating a cookie swap into your show. It's a fun and interactive way to get your guests involved and share their favorite recipes. Plus, who doesn't love cookies? My suggestion would be to set a theme for the cookie swap, such as holiday cookies or healthy alternatives. This will make it easier for guests to choose which recipe to bring. Also, don't forget to have extra copies of your own Pampered Chef cookie recipes on hand to share with guests. I have personally done cookie swaps at my shows before and they have been a huge hit. I hope this helps and happy baking!
