maybe ask folks to bring smaller pieces of cookies for sampling because in general i think people just pack up cookies to take home without sharing them at the actual party.

Have each guest bring at least 2 dozen cookies, in addition to their potluck contribution. Make sure they bring copies of their cookie recipe, if they are willing to share! Pastry boxes make nice take-home containers, lined with wax sheets/tissue paper. You can usually buy some boxes from your local bakery/supermarket. Party/craft stores may have these, too. Holiday cookie tins are also great! Has Christmas Tree Shop made it to the west coast yet?? They've got great tins in all sizes/shapes.
