Cookie Exchange Day
December 22 · Level 1 · #2038 of 2238
A pre-holiday day when baked goods are not just eaten but traded. Everyone brings a batch of their favourite cookies and leaves with a mixed assortment.
How it is celebrated: friends, neighbours and coworkers each bake a big batch of one recipe, meet up and swap. They go home with tins full of different treats, and the best recipes get passed along.
The English word cookie comes from the Dutch koekje, meaning a little cake.
