A very Merry Quarantined Cookie Swap

A fun, safe, festive way to share old family recipes with new friends.

Who says social distancing has to mean the end of socializing? Just because we can’t mix-n-mingle in person this holiday season doesn’t mean we can’t have fun. With a little creativity and preparation, we can still enjoy each other’s company, virtually! What better way to do so then with a good old fashion cookie swap?! I figured everything else has gone virtual, so why not the cookie swap too? This year, let’s put a modern spin on this classic exchange by swapping recipes from the comfort of our own home. It’s a pandemic friendly way to celebrate the holiday season while making new friends and discovering delicious new recipes. So let’s dust off our recipe books, grab our oven mitts and Christmas like it’s 2019!
