This year I decided to participate in the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap. This event is where a bunch of food bloggers get together and bake cookies, send them to other bloggers, and blog about the cookies they made. I was paired up with 3 bloggers who I sent cookies to and 3 other bloggers sent cookies to me.
This event was so much fun! It was great to meet new bloggers and I always love baking cookies. It was awesome getting the different cookies in the mail. Plus the proceeds went to a great cause, Cookies for Kids' Cancer. If you didn't participate this year, I definitely recommend it, the cookie swap is a lot of fun!
For the cookie swap, I decided to make Pudding Cookies. I first made Pudding Cookies a few weeks ago when I made Turtle Cheesecake Pudding Cookies, and they were so moist and delicious. I decided to add some peppermint flavor since it was Christmas time. I added Andes Crunch Mints and White Chocolate Peppermint M&M's.
These cookies were so moist and delicious, and since they stay moist for a while, they are great for shipping! I love the crunch flavor from the Andes and the peppermint flavor both candies gave to the cookies. These were great cookies and are perfect to make for any cookie exchange.
I sent these yummy cookies to Rachel at Studio Cusine, Erin at Erin Cooks, and Ka Ning at Kablee's Kitchen. I received macaroons with chocolate chips, toffee, and pecans from Carrie of Poet in the Pantry, chocolate cookies with peppermint Hershey’s Kisses from Alex of Yums and Loves, and Double Mint, Double Chocolate Cookies from Kristina of Foodnook. These cookies were all so delicious, thank you!
