FAQ

Do I need Excel? The PDF works on its own. The scaler is an .xlsx file that opens in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers.

Is it only for Christmas? It is designed for Christmas cookie swaps and holiday baking. The calendars are dated November and December 2026; the rest can be reused any year.

Does it include cookie recipes? No. It includes fill-in recipe cards so each guest shares their own recipe. The one example recipe in the Excel file only demonstrates the scaler.

License: print as many copies as you need for your own events under the Personal license. No resale, sharing or redistribution of the files. Storage and freezing times are general home-kitchen guidance, not food safety advice.
