FAQ
A good rule to follow is for every guest to bake a half dozen cookies per each attendee. So, if 10 people attend, each guest would bring five dozen cookies to share. We've put together a chart to help you figure out just how many cookies to ask your guests to make.
Or, since there will be plenty of sweet cookies on hand, go the savory route with goat cheese balls, a few party dips, or a big, festive charcuterie wreath. You can also keep it super casual and fill up a basket with snack-size bags of chips, nuts, or pretzels for everyone to munch on.
The idea is simple: Everyone brings a big batch of (hopefully homemade) cookies and distributes roughly 6 - 12 cookies each to the other attendees. So at the end of the event, you and your guests will each have your own delectable assortment.
