Countdown to Christmas Cookies — Week 6

These Double Chocolate Crinkles are one of my favorite holiday cookies.  I have made these for many years.  I don’t know why I wait until the holidays to make them as they can be enjoyed year round.  They are soft and chewy with chocolate chips nestled in each yummy cookie for an extra chocolatey surpise.  

Speaking of surprises, this year I made these for 3rd Annual The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap.  622 food bloggers particpated in this year’s event.  Yes, 622!  That’s a lot of cookies!

I sent these Double Chocolate Crinkles to three lovely food bloggers.  In return, I received a dozen cookies from three talented food bloggers.  It’s a total surprise on who you get cookies from until you receive the package at the door.  Who doesn’t love fresh cookies arriving at their doorstep?  I have participated in this fun event for each year, and I always look forward to it.  Not only for the yummy cookies, but more importantly money raised goes to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer which is a fantastic cause.

This year I was matched with Julie from She’s Almost Always Hungry, Elizabeth from Floating Kitchen and Ashton from Something Swanky.  Each of these lovely ladies received a package of these Double Chocolate Crinkles

In return, I received Brown Butter Nutella Chip Cookies from Culinary Couture, Mocha Peppermint Pudding Cookies from What’s Cooking Love, and Iced Sugar Cookies from My Little Red Mixer

Are you hungry for cookies now?  I sure am! 

Thankfully I have a shelf of frozen cookies in my freezer.  I think I may need to go ahead and sneak a few.  Cookies are acceptable for breakfast, right? 

A huge thank you to Love and Olive Oil and The Little Kitchen for coordinating this amazing event!
