❄️Holiday 🍪☃️Cookie Swap + Dinner at a Holiday Pop-Up + Mason Jar 🍛 Meal Swap

It's the ❄️ Holiday Season, So Pull Out That Ugly Holiday Sweater and Let's Get Baking (and Eating!😘)!

ABOUT THE RESTAURANT:
❄️ Denae's Diner, located inside of The Delphi Hotel, is a modern take on a retro Hollywood diner. During the holidays, Denae's bubbles over with festive cheer. Miracle Cocktail Bar, a holiday-themed pop-up cocktail bar comes on board to serve up holiday cocktails in this festive setting. With kitschy holiday décor, professionally-developed cocktails and the nostalgic energy of the holidays long ago, Denae's is sure to get even the grouchiest grinch in the holiday spirit.

WHAT IS A MEAL SWAP:
❄️ A meal swap is when you gather with friends and bring a collection of already-made, meals to trade with one another. (Cookies, in this instance)

❄️ Each participant brings the required number of individual, pint-sized portions of the same cookies and takes home the same number of jars of cookies (made by the other people).

If your cookies do not fit in the jar. You may bring them in whatever container you wish to give the cookies away in. HOWEVER YOU MUST BRING THE CORRECT NUMBER OF PINT JARS WITH YOU, AS WELL! VERY IMPORTANT!!

❄️You make one recipe. But, you make multiple servings of it.

❄️ All cookies should be homemade.

❄️Pick whatever vegetarian recipe you want to make (eggs and dairy may be used)...your Grandma’s famous Snicker Doodle? Go for it! Want to try a new cookie recipe? Yes, go for it!

This Meetup is cross-posted and has a small guest limit, so it will fill up fast.

Please be kind and only sign up if you are certain you can attend. Otherwise you may keep another member from being able to go, and lessen each attendees number of cookies... and that is not of the holiday spirit.
