[quote=Anonymous]For a church swap, 5 dozen is not a lot. As the PP said, the expectation is that you will bring just one kind of cookie, and leave with a bunch of other cookies that you did not bake.

For the uninitiated, it's super easy to make cookie dough ahead of time and freeze. Stays in the freezer for a good 6 months if you package it properly. So, you don't have to be in a tizzy trying to bake right before the event. Make whenever you have time, freeze in layers, pull out and bake before the event, and you're good to go.

There are people out there that bake 1000s of Christmas cookies, and they usually freeze the baked cookies, thaw them overnight, and bring to the event. I have personally not tried this, as I'm always concerned that the cookie will taste stale/freezer burned. But, I discovered a batch of biscotti I had stuck in the refrigerator and forgotten about, and it was as good as new. I had made them for Christmas of 2022.

The Facebook group 'Holiday Bakers' is excellent. Lots of people with decades of experience, and lots of tried and true recipes (as well as people attempting to divert traffic to their baking websites). [/quote]
