This was so much fun and I can’t wait to participate next year! If you are interested, sign up for notifications here. Be still my gumbling, hungry, craving belly. A dark chocolate cookie with a fair amount of caramel in the middle. Last but certainly not least, I received these cookies from Melanie of Carmel Moments. These next ones, called “little horns” are a family recipe from Michelle of M’s Belly. She made (clockwise from left): Cranberry Walnut Rum Fudge, Candy Cane White Chocolate Chocolate Cookies, and Chocolate Dipped Shortbread. These were from Rachel of A Southern Fairytale. Success! I sent these cookies to Krystal of Krystal’s Kitsch, Shinee of Sweet and Savory by Shinee, and Candi of A Day in Candiland.Īs the cookie swap goes, I received some stellar cookies! They checked all the boxes These sweet and soft maple sugar cookies pack a double whammy with maple flavoring in the cookie as well as the icing making them the perfect Fall dessert. But then!!! once they had some frosting on them, they became soft again because the cookie absorbed the icing so well. They can be a confusing cookie because they were soft coming out of the oven, but then hardened up so they were more like a thin, hard disk (still tasty), and so when I was writing out the recipe, I crossed out the “soft” from the title of the cookies, hehe. I made these Maple Sugar Cookies with a Maple Frosting (recipe below), and I originally intended for them to be soft. And there were over 500 participants!! Very awesome, you guys. Each participant in this swap paid $4.00 which was really a donation directly to the charity. This is a very dear organization because pediatric cancer claims the lives of more children in the US than any other disease. Next whisk in the vanilla, powdered sugar and salt until the consistency is smooth and creamy. Pour in the maple syrup and stir until melted, then remove the pan from the heat. Once the butter takes on a golden color, pull it off the heat and let it cool. Add the butter to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until melted. Set aside and allow to cool to room temperature. This cookie swap is partnered with Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, a national non-profit organization committed to funding new therapies used in the fight against pediatric cancer. Alternatively you can do this step in the microwave. Of course, in turn, you’ll receive three boxes of cookies from three different bloggers. You sign up, receive the addresses of three other food bloggers, and then send each of them one dozen homemade cookies from the same recipe. I made these lovely soft maple sugar cookies recently for the fourth annual Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap! It’s hosted yearly by Love & Olive Oil and The Little Kitchen so check out their blogs and remember to sign up next year!Īnyway, it’s simple, really. I feel so cozy and homey eating anything with maple syrup – french toast, maple candies, pancakes, waffles, and even, cookies. One thing that reminds me of the holiday season, for some reason, is maple.
