Guys.
Can we just agree 2016 never happened?
Can we just say that 2015 went straight into 2017 and that none of this year ever, ever happened?
As it stands, I have one photo of these cookies because I have turned my entire house upside down and cannot find the cord to my camera to upload any others. I took one photo with my phone and decided “Hey, these cookies would look much better with a real camera taking the pictures.”
And that was a true statement. Except you’ll never see them.
So do you guys remember my past Great Food Blogger Cookie Swaps? (See 2014 and 2015.) The lovely coordinators of that cookie exchange decided not to do it this year.
Sadness!
Luckily, Allison of The PinterTest Kitchen and Sarah of The Fantastical Sharing of Recipes decided to put together the Food Blogger Love Cookie Exchange 2016 this year so the cookie love could keep rolling. Each blogger that took part in the exchange either donated to CLIMATES– Rescue and The Bunny Hutch Boutique, an animal rescue in Virginia that takes in and feeds animals that traditional shelters don’t take in (snakes, turtles, rabbits, ferrets, lizards, etc.) or to No Kid Hungry, an organization dedicated to ending childhood hunger.
It was a very similar setup to the GFBCS in that each blogger received the names of 2 other loggers and sent a dozen cookies to each one. I super lucked out this year, and since I don’t have awesome pictures of the cookies I made, I’ll show you the awesome cookies other food bloggers sent me.
Sara of Cook with 5 Kids sent me Graham Chocolate Cookies. I shared these at work, and they were a huge hit!
