Chocolate Dipped Shortbread Cookies I baked these cookies for the Great Food Blogger’s Cookie Swap. This was my first year participating in the cookie swap and I’m sure glad I did.

I had the opportunity to make 3 batches of cookies to 3 random food bloggers and I also received 3 surprise batches of cookies (how fun!). The bloggers do not know who’s sending their cookies, so it’s pretty fun to wait and see who you have been paired up with and better yet, what type of cookies you will be receiving!Guess what else? it’s not just for U.S  bloggers; food bloggers from around the world participated. That’s over 500 batches of cookies baked and shipped with love all over the world.

This amazing cookie swap is cookie swap coordinated and led by Lindsay from Love and Olive Oil and Julie from The Little Kitchen. These two ladies are incredible! They worked super hard to make sure everyone was paired up with the perfect buddy, everyone received their cookies on time and made sure everything ran smoothly.

Now heres the best part, All proceeds this year go to support Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, an amazing non-profit organization that helps fund research in the fight against pediatric cancer. $12,335 was raised this year for the organization. How awesome is that! It feels great to know that food bloggers are able to make a small change in the world.
