How to organize a cookie exchange with a sign-up page that shows who is baking what, how many dozen and any allergies
One link for a cookie exchange: each guest signs up with the cookie they will bake and how many dozen, you see the mix and the headcount, and guests see the rules and the date.

I'm hosting a holiday cookie exchange for 15 friends and want to stop two people showing up with the same cookie.
Build one tool: a sign-up page guests open from a link with no account. Each guest enters their name, the cookie they will bake, how many dozen, and any allergens, and sees what others have chosen so the mix stays varied; a cookie that is already taken is marked.
Show the rules (how many dozen each person brings, how many they take home, packaging, date, time, address) at the top. I see the headcount, the cookies by type and a list of allergens in one view, and I can close sign-ups on a date and edit an entry.
A recipe link field so people can share what they are making, and a button to copy a reminder for the group chat. Phone friendly.

What you get
- A sign-up page guests open from a link, with no account.
- Cookies already taken marked, so the mix stays varied.
- The rules and the details at the top of the page.
- A headcount and a list of allergens in one view.
- A reminder you can copy into the group chat.
What usually gets in the way
- Three people bake the same chocolate chip cookie.
- The rules are in a text thread that nobody scrolls back to.
- Allergen notes get lost.
- You do not know the headcount until the party.
- Collecting sign-ups takes more time than baking.
The longer story
A cookie exchange works because everyone leaves with a varied box. That depends on the cookies being different, which depends on people being able to see what others have chosen before they commit.
A single sign-up page with the rules at the top and the choices visible solves the duplicate problem and puts the allergens in one list. A deadline closes sign-ups so the host knows the headcount a few days before the party.
The same page works for a holiday swap, a bake sale or a dessert table at a gathering.
