Chocolate Spice Coffee Bean Cookies are soft chewy chocolate cookies with a hint of clove and a surprise! Chocolate covered coffee beans are tucked inside.
This is my first year participating in The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap hosted by Lindsay of Love & Olive Oil and Julie of The Little Kitchen!
This event benefits COOKIES FOR KIDS’ CANCER, a national non-profit organization committed to funding new therapies used in the fight against pediatric cancer, which claims the lives of more children in the US than any other disease. By participating in this cookie swap we are not only contributing to the food blogger community, but also supporting a great cause.
How it works: You bake 3 dozen of the same cookie. Lindsay and Julie “swap” our names. We get 3 names each to send out our cookies and your name go out to 3 other bloggers. You get 3 dozen cookies back. A different one from each blogger. Pretty cool, huh?
Here are the 3 cool blogs I received delicious cookies from:
Maple Glazed Spice Brown Sugar Cookies from Beth at Beth’s Blue Plate Special
Snowballs from Terri at Love and Confections
Peppermint Patty Cookies from Alyssa and Carla
I hope the food bloggers that got my cookies enjoyed them!
