On the longest night, we share cookies! Impress your neighbors with your tested favorites, or try a brand new recipe out of one of our baking books. Come snack and bake away the darkness of winter nights at the Easthampton Library Solstice Cookie Swap! Both bakers and ‘taste testers’ are welcome. Beverages and cookie eating supplies will be provided, and there will be a Cookie Decorating Station.

All bakers are asked to commit to bringing a plate of cookies to share and 10 individually portioned ‘go bags’ for others to take home, as well as a printed recipe or ingredient list. If you need assistance printing or scanning your recipe, please indicate this option below.

The library is not responsible for food-borne illness and/or allergic reactions, participants eat cookies at their own risk, and are encouraged to read recipes.

Registration is required for this event, for reasons of cookie supply and capacity. Let us know you’re coming!
