I heard about the Food Blogger Cookie Swap a couple years ago and was so mad when I missed it last year! So I got on the reminder list and was probably one of the first to sign up for 2015. The premise is every blogger donates to Cookies for Kids Cancer then bakes three dozen cookies and sends a dozen to three random bloggers. It was fun coming home to cookies on our doorstep and connecting with bloggers from around the country!
I sent cookies to: Baking Bandit, Thyme & Passion, A Sprinkle of This and That
I received cookies from: Koko Likes, Bake Love Give, A Mama, Baby, & Shar-pei in the Kitchen
I have been baking these cookies for nearly 15 years now and everyone always loves them! It's easy to change it up a bit with different types of chocolates in the cookies... I started with Hershey Kisses back in high school because it was a cute shape inside when you bit it in half. But my favorites have been Reese cups and Dove dark chocolates. Mmmm...
There are no eggs in these cookies, so when you inevitably taste a little (or a lot) of the dough, it's okay! There is no baking powder either. So these are definitely not your normal everyday chocolate chip cookies. They actually remind me of biscotti. So while you can certainly go the traditional route of having milk with your cookies, hot cocoa and coffee are also perfect accoutrements. So bake a batch, make some hot cocoa, and snuggle up by the fireplace and enjoy these tasty cookies with a little candy surprise inside! :)
