Wow. I love them. We do one at work (optional) and it grows every year. I must work with some awesome bakers--I always get some amazing stuff. And I'm pretty proud of my effort this year as well.

To each their own.

I don't get these. Many people's baking is downright bad. You can eat a cookie or two to be polite, but you don't want a bunch of them.

I hate them. I make excellent cookies and the ones I have received in the exchanges have not been very good. Some have been store bought. Or things like Oreos covered in chocolate. Blech.

I like them. I think its weird when people bring store bought cookies.

They're stupid and aimed at "women who enjoy baking." I don't want to eat your cookies- trust me, you don't want to eat mine. Don't involve my kids either.

Trying to lose weight. Went to Christmas gift opening last night and got a ton of food. Ate 800 cal n chocolate by noon. Just now threw everything out in the trash.

... work against my diet.

Had to participate in this at my job last year. Hated it. Most cookies were bad and we threw them out.

Someone made Ina gardens jam thumbprints at mine and they were sooooo good!

Ugh, I loathe cookie exchanges.

If you can't bake, just buy the cookies. At least you can't be blame if it tastes bad. haha.
Cookie exchange is not my thing. No sweet tooth.

Had one today. Pretty awesome cookies. Some basics--like the peanut butter ones with a kiss in the middle, some a bit fancier. They aren't all winners, but still fun to try.

Wow, grinch.

The cookies all sucked. Mine were okay, but not great. When I got home with them, we ate some, dumped most. What are some really good recipes?
