Christmas Cookie Exchange Ideas

Sharing is caring!

A Christmas Cookie exchange is a great way to get a ton of different cookies for gifts and just for your house without having to make a ton of different cookies!  Each person makes a few dozen of their favorite or best cookies, you all get together and share them.  Then, each person has several dozen different types of cookies!  Fun, right? You can never go wrong with yummy cookie recipes!

This article is loaded with all of the Christmas Cookie Exchange Ideas you will need to host (or attend) the perfect Christmas Cookie Exchange this year!

Plus, since 5 isn’t nearly enough cookies to make a great tin full of Christmas cookies, I have shared a couple of my favorites from around the web:

  • Holly of Kids Activities Blog says that her Breakfast Cookies are the best because who doesn’t want cookies for breakfast?
  • Crystal at Crystal & Co., swears these are Santa’s favorite cookies. These Ranger Cookies are perfect for gift giving too! The kids will love helping you make them!
  • Over 30 Christmas Cookie Exchange Recipes from 3 Boys and a Dog

The ideas for your Christmas Cookie Exchange are only limited by your imagination.  The free printable invitation below is for a plain exchange, but you could have a themed exchange where:

  • people have to dress up in the theme
  • your invitations are themed
  • you have themed music
  • you have themed decorations
  • even the cookies could be in a certain theme!
