Lake Stickney
Elementary in Mukilteo, WA baked in 1999! 
Here's a report 
Take a look at last
year's exchange at Arbor Heights 
Directions: 
  - 
    
Find out how many men want to
    bake cookies.  This is important!  The bakers need to know how
    many to bake for.  
  - 
    
Decide on a date and time for
    the exchange.  
  - 
    
Bake your cookies! Make one
    dozen for each guy in the exchange.  Be careful about how you
    count!  You only need to bake for the other guys, so  don't count
    yourself.  
  - 
    
Arrange your cookies on nice,
    festive-looking plates. Colored plastic wrap and ribbon are optional here,
    but fun.  
  - 
    
When the day arrives, arrange to
    meet and share your creations!  You'll be going home with lots of great
    cookies!  
 
Miscellaneous tips and
suggestions: 
  - 
    
Bars are also just fine.  
  - 
    
Make copies of your recipe to
    share with the other bakers.  
  - 
    
Don't skimp on ingredients - use
    butter, for goodness sake.  
  - 
    
Spouses and significant others
    are NOT allowed to do your baking!  
  - 
    
Obviously, no Chips Ahoy, Slice
    'n Bake, etc.  
  - 
    
No Martha Stewart recipes.  
  - 
    
Each guy bring an extra dozen to
    leave out for the rest of the staff to enjoy.
