I love a holiday cookie exchange. I mean, there is not much more fun that can be had than that! Cookies are bomb-tastic and these cookies are so varied and fun, there is something for everyone’s taste in this list!

A cookie exchange party is a fabulous way to celebrate the holidays. Nothing brings us together like baked goods, and a cookie swap event asks each guest to show up with home-baked cookies. At the party, everyone gets to sample an assortment of cookies baked by other guests and then leaves with containers of their favorite cookies—and delicious cookie recipes.

Let people know what you expect them to bring. Three dozen cookies is a good amount. And however many people are coming, have them divide them up into that many containers plus one for party samples.

Make sure you state any allergies that people have. And let them also know what types of things you are expecting. Also, have them print up as many copies of the recipe as they have bags to give.

Set out a pretty table for the cookies and a few snacks. When everyone arrives, bag up a container of each kind of cookie for them to take and lay out the sample cookies and your snacks for them to munch on while they visit. It’s all great fun!

These peanut butter cookies made in the air fryer oven could not be easier. They are so delicious but are a snap to make and easy at the holiday time is what we all need.

Do you have any cookie monsters around? If so, check out these yummy monster cookies to help fill them up. This is a recipe you’re going to want to keep forever!

These super soft pumpkin cookies are perfect with a light glaze and the taste of pumpkin. So good.

If you’re looking for a healthier cookie, look no further than these scrumptious cowboy cookies. They are kid-friendly too!

And these Christmas light cookies are sure to please the holiday table!
