To kick off the Holiday season, Rabelais announces our annual cookie swap. This year we will combine this festive tradition with a book signing with cookie expert Julia A. Usher, author of the new book Cookie Swap, Creative Treats to Share Throughout the Year. Usher is a contributing editor at Dessert Professional, a James Beard Award journalism finalist and her work has appeared in Bon Appetit, Gastronomica and Better Homes and Gardens.

As with last years swap participants will bring a couple dozen cookies and we will all swap. Everyone will go home with a pile of new cookies. Usher will be on hand to lend professional support and answer any questions about cookie making and swapping. It will be a fun afternoon for all.
