[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is old, but I wanted to say thank you to the ladies on here who advised that special cookies bought at a bakery are okay! I was searching “cookie exchange dcum” looking for some suggestions on what to bake, but not really wanting to bake.

I also revived this thread to share my mom’s story, from the 80s probably, of going to a cookie exchange and someone had brought an Entemenn’s (sp?) glazed coffee cake that she had spread peanut butter on top of. I don’t know if she was claimed it was homemade. No shame to her, just funny. [/quote]

I think it's ok, really. 
One cookie has to be the very last one eaten. It might not even be yours, if I went to your cookie event and someone else made cookies with coconut. [/quote]

(same pp)

This fires off my imaginary self, who is inspired and writes a kids' book about the sad little sandwich cookie from the $3 no-name package that ends up in the cookie exchange because of some kind of life troubles (Mommy works three jobs and Hannah has to brings cookies to a school club cookie exchange) but it ends up being a heart-warming Christmas tale. Somehow, I can't really do plot. [/quote]

I'm feeling this, though. I am a pretty dedicated baker, but I have also been a mom with three little kids, and although I wouldn't go to a cookie exchange with cookies I didn't make myself, I once went to one where people were being very snarky about someone's store-bought cookies. Sure, maybe she wasn't fully in the bake-off spirit of the thing, but maybe she needed some human contact and refined sugar at that moment. So why not just be nice to her and her box from Randolph's?

If she'd shown up with Chips Ahoy, sure, set the dogs on her. The cookies should at least be tasty. No butter, no swap. [/quote]

GASP. You have violated the Cookie Exchange Rules, circa 1763.  :lol:
