    The standardized rules of the SE++ cookie exchange
    As laid down by our forefathers, handed down by our fathers, faithfully reproduced but not replicated in their exact form because honestly who has that much nougat just lying around?

    1. Send at least 1 dozen cookies.
    2. There is no rule 2.

    People send as much or as little as they can or want to. Cookies, no bakes, bark, fudge, quick-breads, and possibly pies/cakes have all been sent in the past. All are welcome, none are rejected, AND ABSOLUTELY NO PARTICIPANT WILL BE JUDGED IN ANY WAY FOR THE QUALITY/QUANTITY OF THEIR GIFT.

    That is what I wanted to know, and I will sign up as soon as the baby is asleep.

    And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn

    A cookie exchange, you say? I'll have to look into how much shipping could possibly be, but treat exchanges rule, so.

    Are you going to do a one to one pairing this year or is it going to be like last year where you had to send to three people? Because I might be able to swing shipping on a single batch but shipping to three people plus Satans is right out when I don't get any more financial aid until February :/

    One to one. We can do a second round if people are interested and just can't stop baking.

    Daily recipe:

    Blondies

    Chocolate brownies are the light, everyone knows this, but I'll happily throw down on some blondies and I bet you would too.

    I don't like brownies

    There are several different types of brownies though. I am not a huge fan of the kinda dry cakey ones, but I love the fudgey types that get all firm and delicious on the edges.

    You are, of course, entitled to your opinion.

    Even if it is wrong.

    No nuts!

  • NoisymunkNoisymunk Registered User regular
    I don't make brownies often, because when I make them from scratch they're just insanely rich and moist and oh god. It's like all of the eggs and butter and sugar forever.

    Daily Recipe:

    Polvorones (Mexican Walnut Cookies)

    I'm not going to lie, I've never made these, but I think I might. They look delicious.

    I'll probably go with the same things I made last year. Gonna make no bake cookies, but with coconut, some fudge, and s'mores cookies, even if they don't mail so great.

    Because we all need chocolate, and we all deserve chocolate.

    If you end up liking those and want to get fancy, find a recipe for Kourabiedes.

    Gimme stuff. Please. And I don't just mean my Secret Satan.

    Daily recipe:

    Dark Chocolate Truffles

    You don't just have to send cookies; any kind of holiday treat will be happily accepted.

    Peen on
  • .. Registered User, ClubPA regular
    Um, Peen. Now I feel obligated to send someone a box full of melted Shamrock Shakes.

    Gimme stuff. Please. And I don't just mean my Secret Satan.
  • PeenPeen Registered User regular
    Great, just toss some Irish potatoes and a splash of whiskey in there and it's a party.

  • .. Registered User, ClubPA regular
    By Irish potatoes, you just mean paint a bunch of leprechauns on some Yukons, right? Done!

    I was wavering on this but then I spotted some great tins for gifting/shipping and took them as a sign.

    Info is sent

    Listen, I know we get what we get

    But I just have to say (because I will feel bad for the sender if they don't know and send something) that I hate anise. Star, seed, all of it. HATE. I can detect it on a near-molecular level, and it is the destroyer of happiness and joy in all things. I feel somewhat less strongly about coconut, but anise is the worst.

    If you want to send something with anise knowing that, then that's fine and I don't mind. My husband is okay with it. I just don't want someone to be all happy thinking they sent me something I'll love and it's all full of anise and my polite enthusiasm is a lie, because that always makes me sad.

    And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn
  • PeenPeen Registered User regular
    On a related note: someone felt compelled to write that they were allergic to bees in their e-mail. I don't know if anyone was considering sending bees as part of their treat box but let me save you the trouble: bees are not considered a delicacy anywhere I am aware of. If you love bees as part of your holiday celebration that's great and I wish you the best. But please do not send anyone else any bees. Thank you.

  • CowSharkCowShark Registered User regular
    Bee-eaters gotta share the grand tradition with anybody who's not allergic, though.

  • PsykomaPsykoma Registered User regular
    could a bee allergy extend into honey territory?

    Probably not, although there are those who don't tolerate honey well I think.

    While ceres has told you what she doesn't like, she has neglected to tell you what she does like.

    She really likes garlic.

    Lots of garlic.

    All of the garlic.

  • FyndirFyndir Registered User regular
    What I'm saying here is you don't even have to bake her anything! Just crush up some garlic and press it into a cookie shape, bam, done.
