We did one but had a ton of cookies leftover. Seems at the one I went to,
people liked to bake the cookies, but not so much eat them. I didn't want
to take any because we really don't eat cookies here. My husband does
sometimes but he was on a diet. So I was forced to take home cookies I
didn't want. I threw them out. For me, it seemed like a waste of time.

Some people didn't seem to understand and brought either store bought
cookies (claimed they didn't bake) or candy.

One problem we did have is that some cookies were more popular than others.
Some went right away while others just sat there and nobody wanted them. It
would be best to have a sign up sheet so you know who will be bringing what
and there won't be too many duplicates.
