[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never heard of a cookie exchange. Sometimes reading this forum makes me feel like I’m not an American. Has this been a thing for a while?[/quote]

I’m with you. By the name, I would have thought I could figure out what a cookie exchange was, but after reading this thread I see I would have been wrong. [b]Who knew they are so serious and competitive[/b]? Doesn’t sound very holiday spirited …[/quote]

It's a bit serious, but not really competitive. The idea is that each person brings their best cookie. Something special that they don't make all the time. Usually, these are recipes that have been handed down for generations, or are difficult/time consuming to make. You could do something fairly simple like a spritz or sugar cookie, but well made and beautifully decorated. Or you could make something really involved like those stupid clothespin cookies that I can never get right. Heck, you could make something like divinity, which is a confection and not a cookie, but it's a picky beast, and people will really appreciate that someone can turn those out.

Anyway, the point is that it is special, for a special occasion, and everyone involved puts a little bit of themselves into what they bring.[/quote]
