Chocolate and Mint Malted Cookies
for the
Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap
and Cookies for Kid’s Cancer
This was my second year participating in the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap
hosted by Love & Olive Oil and The Little Kitchen
to raise funds for Cookies for Kid’s Cancer
I had my cookie picked out long ago
had all the items ready
even had packaging
you’d think then I would have shipped early
you’d be wrong
December 2nd really snuck up on me, and there I was mailing at the last possible moment.
Maybe next year I’ll be ahead.
My swap buddies however did not wait. I was so excited when right after Thanksgiving my first two boxes arrived. Delicious cookies from Clarks Condensed {aka Katie} and Melissa from The Baked Equation
My last box was from Rachel who blogs over at I Love My Disorganized Life
German Chocolate Sandwich Cookies…I ate them all by myself.
I can only hope my chocolate and mint malted cookies were half as good as the one I received.
