Soft & Chewy Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies

It’s that time of the year – Cookie Swap time! Once again, I’ve partnered with the Food Blogger Love Cookie Exchange (#FBLCookieExchange) to benefit No Kid Hungry, a wonderful organization dedicated to ending childhood hunger; which I am more than happy to promote.

If you’ve never heard of this particular Cookie Swap, here’s how it works: To participate we had to agree to bake and send a dozen cookies to 3 different bloggers and in return 3 different bloggers sent us a dozen cookies. I mean, cookies times three!

Soft & Chewy Cranberry White Chocolate Cookies

This year, for the Food Blogger Love Cookie Exchange,  I choose to bake a soft and chewy cranberry white chocolate chip cookie. They remind me of the ones at a local bakery here and I just love them. I think the dried cranberries make the cookies look a bit festive for the season.

I sent my Soft and Chewy Cranberry White Chocolate Cookies to:

Sarah from Chef Sarah Elizabeth
Nicole from For the Love of Food
Rachel from By the Pounds

FOOD BLOGGER LOVE COOKIE EXCHANGE

In return, I was lucky enough to receive 3 very delicious cookies.  Since we were away the week the 3 packages of cookies arrived, my daughter had the honor of tasting the yummy cookies and sending pictures of the packaging and contents.  She did save me a couple of cookies so that I could confirm just how good they tasted.  Click on each of the pictures to see the blogger’s site and recipe.  You can see the recipes from everyone who participated this year at the bottom of this post.

I can’t wait for all of the recipes from this year’s cookie swap to be posted! So much goodness!
