A day late and a dollar short, but I brought cookies!
Yesterday was the big reveal for the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap and everyone that participated posted their amazing recipes. Well everyone except me, because life happened yesterday and that combined with a lack of planning meant my post wasn’t ready. So a little late, but I have cookies!
Everyone loves cookies and most people love kids. Even if you don’t love kids you probably believe kids shouldn’t have to fight cancer. That combination is why I love the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap. I get to give cookies, get cookies and raise awareness to help fight childhood cancer.
If you are a food blogger sign-up for the updates and join us next year. I promise some tasty cookies at your door and drool-worthy posts. Luckily, you can get the drool-worthy posts even if you aren’t a food blogger.
My cookies are a new favorite. I love tart cherries and putting them in cookies seemed like a great idea. Not probably an original idea, but a good idea none the less.
Oatmeal raisin cookies have always been a favorite. I remember the day I tried them with chocolate chips. It was a big moment. Switching out the raisins for the cherries was a bigger moment.
I hope you give them a try. I can tell you that the 3 people I sent them to loved them.
