This is my first year participating in the 3rd Annual Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap hosted by Lindsay (Love & Olive Oil) and Julie (The Little Kitchen)!!

If you are not familiar with this particular cookie exchange, let me spell it out for you. Lindsay and Julie bring together fellow food bloggers to celebrate all things cookies and friendships while making a difference. To participate, you sign up, pay a nominal fee, and you receive the addresses of three food bloggers. You send each of them a dozen cookies. In return, you receive three different boxes of cookies to enjoy solo!! Sweet right?? Well, that’s not all, because the fees that all of us (622 to be exact) paid to sign up are donated to a non-profit organization. This year, they partnered with Cookies for Kid’s Cancer, an organization funding new therapies in the fight against pediatric cancer. Awesome!!

But wait it doesn’t end there, the super awesome brand partners of this year’s cookie exchange matched the group’s donation to Cookies for Kid’s Cancer, dollar for dollar!! Together, we raised $13,778.40 for Cookies for Kid’s Cancer!!! These generous brand partners made this possible: Gold Medal Flour, OXO, Grandma’s Molasses and Dixie Crystals. I can’t thank them enough!!
