Claim your cookie before somebody else bakes it

No. The host needs a free account to make the event. Guests answer from the invite link with their name, and once they've said Going or Maybe they can claim a cookie or add their own.

The classic rule is a dozen for every other baker, which gets heavy past eight people. Many hosts set a flat number instead, like four dozen, and everyone takes home an even share.

Not for the same row. A cookie is claimed once, and if someone grabs it first, the second person sees it's taken. Two people can still both type snickerdoodles, but the second sees the first on the list.

Start from this page and the list offers classics like gingerbread, snickerdoodles and shortbread as one-tap ideas for the host. Nothing goes on the list until you tap it, and you can type your own.

No. Joinue handles the lead-up: the invite, the replies and who's baking what. The swap itself is tins, boxes and a long table.

Their cookie goes back on the list as open, and the hosts are told which one.
