Enjoy the treats of the holiday season without the trouble of baking them all.  Invite family and friends to a Cookie Swap Party – it’s easy and fun and everyone takes home some delicious cookies with very little effort.

  • Make a list – Give guests plenty of notice (say, like now).
  • Have your guests let you know what they will be bringing to prevent bringing the same cookie
  • Ask them to print copies of their recipes to share
  • Alert people of any allergens like nuts – with cookie name cards
  • Provide plastic wrap or foil so folks can re-use their own containers
  • Keep coffee tins, small gift bags or boxes for re-gifting swapped cookies.  Wrap in holiday paper.
  • Keep fresh veggies & dip or cheese and crackers on hand to prevent a sugar OD
  • Serve plenty of coffee, water, tea, wine or ice cold milk

If you are from New Jersey or New York you will love this recipe for "crumb buns".  We would get them every Sunday from the local bakery (now closed).

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Spray 8 x 8 baking pan with nonstick spray.  Set aside.  In a medium bowl, sift together 1-1/2 cups flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt.  In a second bowl, whisk together egg, milk, canola oil and vanilla.  Fold dry ingredients into egg mixture.

Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.  In a medium bowl, combining remaining 2-1/2 cups flour, brown sugar and cinnamon.  Pour melted butter over flour mixture and toss together until large crumbs form.  Sprinkle crumbs over batter.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until a cake tester comes out clean.  Transfer to a wire rack to cool.  Dust liberally with confectioner's sugar.  Cut into squares.
