2024 Cookiefest Information

Location:
Bush Room 

Date:
Wednesday, December 18th, 2024

Time:
12:30 - 2:00 PM

Event Description: 

Cookiefest is an annual celebration held in mid-December for and by Library Staff to celebrate and trade tasty treats. 

It is similar to a cookie swap, but no baking is required to attend (though highly encouraged)!

Event details: 

• The event date is usually announced in early November with a call for bakers/volunteers at the end of November or early December. 
• It is usually held in the Bush room (10-105), but has also been held in the Pappalardo room (4-349). 
• Bakers may chose any cookie or cookie-adjacent recipe to make. Suggested amount for bakers is about 2 dozen. In addition to many types of cookies, we've seen all kinds of bars, tray bake treats, and even homemade marshmallows. 
• Platters and food labels with the baker's name, treat name, and any relevant allergen information that has been shared are provided, but participants may also bring their own. 
• Event is open to all library staff including temporary, term, and student employees. This event is not open to MIT Press, other DLCs, or friends/family.
