I’ve said it before, I’m a fan of clubs. Nothing beats getting together with people who share your same passion. For that reason, Juliana from Horneando Algo and myself are organizing the Buenos Aires Cookie Club! The club is a chance for bakers to get together and exchange cookies, recipes and a good conversation.
The Buenos Aires Cookie Club was founded on the idea that many other cookie clubs have had; to bake only one type of cookie (but lots of them) and host a cookie exchange, this way you end up with dozens of delicious types of cookies! This idea orginated at Christmas time, when we don’t have time to bake as much as we’d like, but since we love cookies so much, we decided to host the event every 3 months! Our first event is September 9th at 3pm in Palermo!
Below are some rules and requirements for members of our club:
1) All participating members are asked to pay a $25 membership fee. This fee covers refreshments such as tea and coffee, as well as a recipe book with that event’s cookie recipes, as well as materials to pack and take-away your cookie treats!
2) All participating members are asked to come to the event with at least (X dozen) of the same cookies. The exact quantity will be based on the number of participants.
3) All participating members are asked to send their cookie recipe one week in advance, in order to be included in the quarterly recipe book as well as to avoid cookie repeats!
What a wonderful idea! I would totally sign up if I lived in BA!
Awww, I wish you could be here for it! You’d love it
great idea! i want cookies!
I would be all over this if I lived in BsAs! I’m glad your first event was a success (according to what I read on Twitter!).
Next event will be around xmas time, so if you’re in the area…
Cookies, are, hands down, my FAVORITE treat. And I have a major sweet tooth. This idea is absolutely awesome! If only I had known sooner! I will definitely participate in the Christmas edition.
Awesome! Check us out on Facebook to get the date for the next one! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Buenos-Aires-Cookie-Club/125036344308852
