It’s the annual Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap Day! What does that mean? It means that food bloggers have come together to create a delicious cookie recipe, send them out to three other food bloggers to enjoy, while raising money for children with Cancer. How amazing right?
Today I am sharing a recipe for Chocolate Chip Toffee Cookies. It’s a simple recipe for chocolate chip cookies, buuuuut I added a whole bag of toffee bits to them. Ya know, to give them a little extra crunch and caramel flaaaava. Um…so yum!
So it’s the FIFTH (yes 5 years!) Annual Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap! This year we are again excited to be partnering with Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, a national non-profit organization committed to funding new therapies used in the fight against pediatric cancer, which claims the lives of more children in the US than any other disease. I am excited to share that we have raised over $7,000!
We are more than excited about this and grateful to share our love of cookies, while raising much needed funds for kiddos!
So Chocolate Chip Toffee Cookies. Are you a toffee fan? Everyone in my family seems to LOVE toffee, especially Vin. Dairy Queen runs involve medium heath bar blizzards. I have to say, it’s pretty good but I can’t get enough of my Oreo blizzards.
Anyways, I digress.
I have a serious obsession with chocolate chip cookies – I love to make all different kinds using different ingredients and then eating them ALL. This recipe is based off of my Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies – I simply added some toffee bits to it, a whole bag…don’t skimp!
It’s not only a great time of year to bake, but it’s the best time of year to give back. I am so grateful that food blogging allows me to be a part of such a special community of fellow food bloggers who come together to make a difference through doing the thing we love the very most, baking. Thank you to all the other food bloggers who are a part of the Annual Food Blogger Cookie Swap and to all of my wonderful readers who keep this little blog kickin’ it!
Happy Holidays and please consider spreading the cheer!
