Love cookies? Want to help kids cancer research? Then I have the group for you!
The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap brings together food bloggers from around the world, sharing cookies and recipes with each other.
The premise is this: sign up. Receive the addresses of three other food bloggers. Send each of them one dozen delicious homemade cookies. Receive three different boxes of scrumptious cookies from other bloggers. Eat them all yourself (or, you know, share. If you want. No judgement either way.) Post your cookie recipe on your blog. See everyone else’s cookie recipes. Salivate. Get lots of great ideas for next year’s cookie swap. Rinse and repeat.
The GREAT FOOD BLOGGER COOKIE SWAP is hosted by Lindsay of Love & Olive Oil and Julie of The Little Kitchen! Thank you ladies for all your hard work!
My cookies went out to
Lena’s Lunchbox , Shared Appetite and Fork Vs Spoon .
Tassies are a traditional Christmas cookie you will find in kitchens and bakeries during the Holidays. Nut filled tassies are the most common version. I like to switch it up a little.
Chocolate Brownie Tassies bake delicious brownies in a light cookie dough cup. You can add a bit of cocoa to the dough to make the all chocolate version.
Drizzle the Chocolate Brownie Tassies with melted caramel or white chocolate for a stunning display.
