world's largest cookie swap

FAQ
What is the World's Largest Cookie Swap?
Cookies are better when shared with new friends. We're a friend group who loves chocolate chip cookies and are excited to try new recipes and meet other cookie enthusiasts - all while raising awareness for organizations combating food insecurity in NYC.
Arrive with 1-2 dozen cookies, as well as an additional tupperware. Leave with a wide variety of flavors and new friends.
When and where?
Mark your calendars: May 11th at 2pm. The location is Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn, NY, just north of the tennis courts.
Why are you doing this?
We're a group of friends excited by odd themed parties, new friends, and tasty cookies. Furthermore, food insecurity is on the rise in New York City and we are eager to support City Harvest, a stellar organization providing support for communities in need. We'd encourage you to donate to City Harvest via our Instagram fundraiser (so we can track donations!)
What type of cookies should I bring?
Up to you! You're welcome to be creative or stick with tried and true family recipes. Cookies must be appropriate for guests aged 8-80.
How can I volunteer to help?
We need volunteers leading up to and day-of! If you are interested in joining our kick-ass-cookie-volunteer team, DM us at @worldslargestcookieswap.
How are you dealing with food allergies?
Upon arrival, all guests must check in with our Cookie Captains to register their cookies and receive a cookie placard, where they’ll write the name of their cookie and allergens. Please note, this is a potluck-style event and while we will require people to note allergens, we cannot guarantee that there will not be cross-contamination.
