joannqn Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 We are going to a homeschool Christmas party tomorrow in order to meet some local homeschoolers. One thing they are doing is a cookie exchange but no mention of how many to bring has been made. Nine families have RSPV'd that they are coming. How many cookies do I need to bring?

Mrs Mungo Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Most of the exchanges I have been to you just take the same number of cookies that you brought. So, if you bring 12, you take 12 home (with some leeway for size of cookies). We had a cookie exchange on Tuesday and I took 4 dozen cookies, 2 types of cookie.

jasar31629 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 We always to them by the dozen- I think that's pretty common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Oh, dear...that's a detail that should have been publicized before now. :-( I say bring 4 doz. I mean, if you're going to the trouble to make cookies, you might as well make lots of them. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I've been to exchanges where we're told to bring 2 dozen--1 for sharing, and 1 for exchanging. The sharing dozen went on the snack table, the exchanging dozen went back to the kitchen so later people could make up their take-home plate of a dozen. We'd choose one or two of each kind brought for the exchange. Cinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already given away 7 1/2 dozen cookies and still have more to make for our party on Saturday in addition to this exchange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I would ask. My group specified their expectations (1/2 dozen per person). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardening momma Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I would ask. My group specified their expectations (1/2 dozen per person). 1/2 dozen? So you'll come home with 1/2 dozen total :confused: or you're bringing 1/2 dozen for each person attending the party? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalphs Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 The last time I did this I baked 4 dozen cookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I would ask. My group specified their expectations (1/2 dozen per person). :iagree: When I did this with Mom's Club we did 1/2 dozens. So if there were 9 people participating, not counting yourself you would need 8 sets of 1/2 dozen cookies so 4 dozen total. You would take home 1/2 dozen from each of the other bakers so you would also take home 4 dozen of 8 different kinds of cookie. One year we did dozens and had 14 people participating. :tongue_smilie: We decided to cut it down to 1/2 dozens the next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica in OR Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Our church ladies group is doing this tonight, and we're bringing three dozen each. Erica in OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
