Cookie Swap at the Book Bar🍪

Hello there! This event is exactly what it sounds like: **we meet and swap cookies!** 🍪 Six ladies, six different cookies. Each person bakes their favourite cookie and brings **6 pieces** to share. That means we all go home with 6 different cookies to taste! No need to announce what you’re bringing. Be as creative (or lazy 😄) as you’d like. The only rule is that the cookies should be **homemade**. We’ll meet at **The Book Bar**, a beautiful new café, bar, and bookstore with delicious coffee, croissants, and other treats. ☕📚 We can drink coffee, browse the books, journal, knit, read, or do whatever cozy hobby you’re into. Just bring it along! Maybe I’ll bring my colouring book. 😊 Stay for as long or as little as you’d like, but it would be great if we could all meet at **11:00** so nobody has to wait for the cookies. 😊 If you have food allergies, this may not be the best event for you, as we can’t guarantee specific ingredients or avoid cross-contamination. **Come for the cookies, stay for the cozy company!** 🍪☕📚
