One of our favorite traditions here at Enjoy Life is getting together with friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers for a cookie exchange party. Whether you are simply attending a friend’s cookie swap or the hostess with the mostest, we’ve created a simple cookie tag to make this year’s exchange safe and fun for everyone.

Haven’t heard of a cookie exchange party?

The way a cookie exchange party works is all the attendees brings their favorite holiday cookie for the party.  Once everyone has arrived, all the guests take turns filling their tray or box with everyone else’s treats. So even though you only had to bake once, you head home with several different types of cookies to enjoy over the holidays!

Hosting a cookie swap doesn’t mean another stressor on your holiday to-do list, it is simply carving out some time for you and your favorite people to slow down and celebrate during the busiest time of year.

Celebrate freely!

Those with food allergies and intolerances can participate in cookie exchanges as long as everyone clearly labels their treats. Download and print our Free From Cookie Exchange Tags to fully label your ingredients and prep.

Plan on baking treats to hand out to neighbors, teachers or holiday party hosts? Include our Free From Tags and To/From Tags so they can enjoy and share freely with all.
