For the past few years, food bloggers all over the world have signed up to bake cookies to send Secret Santa style to other bloggers, and in return, receive packages of delicious cookies baked just for them. And they do it not only for the cookies, but to help raise money for Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. This was my second time participating, and it definitely didn’t disappoint!
Chocolate and peppermint are the perfect pair in these fun, festive thumbprints. A chocolate cookie with an espresso kick, a creamy peppermint chocolate filling, topped with a sprinkle of peppermint bark-- I knew these would be the perfect cookies to send to my swap matches.
I packaged up my cookies and sent them on their way to Emily of Epicurious Em, Molly of My Name is Yeh, and Jennifer of Break or Bake!
And the cookies that showed up in my mailbox? FANTASTIC! There were three very different flavors that I devoured with reckless abandon. Not even a single bit of sharing happened with these. None. I ate every last crumb.
There were some delicious Peppermint Mocha Cookies from Erica at Erica's Sweet Tooth which I polished off in a matter of days.
Some amazing, spicy Mexican Chocolate Crackle Cookies from Kathy at Cooking on the Side (left) which I was in too much of a hurry to devour to take more a picture of the box.
And the most surprising-- White Chocolate Chip Zucchini Oat Cookies from Ali at Inspiralized (right). Yeah, you read that right. Zucchini. There were vegetables in my cookies. And I practically licked the tray.Who would've thought? Thanks so much ladies! I loved, loved, loved them all!
We're up to #7. Stay tuned for the last 5 cookies and be sure to check out any you missed along the way!
