The Cookie Exchange Kit (eBook with Printables)

What Is the Cookie Exchange Kit?

$8 with code SWAP8 through November 8

The Problem

A cookie swap sounds simple: everyone bakes one batch, and everyone goes home with a box of everyone's best. Then the questions start. How many cookies should each person bake? What if three people bring chocolate chip? Which cookies survive a car ride? How do you set up the table so it doesn't turn into a scramble?

This kit answers all of it, so you can plan the swap in an evening and enjoy the party you planned.

What's Inside

• A 65-page guide covering planning, choosing cookies, baking in big batches, packing, and hosting the day itself
• 12 recipes chosen because they swap well, each with batch scaling notes, make-ahead and freezing notes, and tips for packing and travel
• A cookie-count chart for four different swap formats and 4 to 12 guests, so nobody has to do the math
• 10 printables, from the invitation to the ballots, ready to print and fill in
• 5 editable Canva templates, so you can type in your own details (free Canva account required)

Five In-Depth Chapters to Help You Plan

Planning the Swap. Choose a format, set the cookie count, and use the four simple rules that keep a swap fair and the assortment varied. Plus a four-week timeline, so nothing sneaks up on you.

Choosing Cookies That Swap Well. Four quick tests to tell whether a cookie will survive the trip, what to leave at home, and why allergen labels matter more than you'd think.

Baking for a Crowd. How to scale a recipe, freeze dough ahead so baking day is manageable, keep several sheets moving, and store a big batch so it stays fresh.

Packing and Presentation. The containers that work, how to pack so cookies arrive in one piece, and how to set up a swap table that looks generous.

Hosting Day. The order to set things up, the tasting station, simple drinks, a "best cookie" vote, and what to do with leftovers.

Recipes

12 reader-favorite DessArts recipes, adapted for swaps. Each one comes with what a blog recipe doesn't have: scaling notes, how to freeze ahead, and how to pack it so it arrives whole.

A mix of crisp and chewy, spiced and chocolate, with gluten-free, egg-free, and dairy-free options, so every swap has something for everyone.

FAQ

What format is the kit?
A PDF you can read on any device and print at home.

Do I need Canva?
No. Every printable is in the PDF, ready to print and fill in by hand. If you'd like to type in your details, five of them can also be edited in Canva with a free account.

Can I print the printables more than once?
Yes, as many times as you like, for your own swaps, this year and every year after.

Are the recipes beginner-friendly?
Yes. Each one has clear steps, and the peanut butter blossoms only need four ingredients. Experienced bakers will appreciate the scaling and make-ahead notes.

What if my guests have allergies?
The kit includes allergen labels, gluten-free, egg-free, and dairy-free recipe options, and advice for setting up a tasting table that reduces cross-contact.

Can I get a refund?
Because this is a digital download, all sales are final. If you have any trouble with your files, email me at urvashee@dessarts.com and I'll help.
