Today’s lunch was super easy and involved absolutely zero prep this morning, thanks to the fact that I actually had my act together last night after dinner to do it then.
I put together the other half of my leftovers from last night, including spaghetti squash, steamed broccoli, Newman’s Own sauce, and a dollop of goat cheese.
It was fantastic not only taste-wise, but effort-wise, too. 
But enough about that…I want to talk to you guys about something else this afternoon!
As a lover of all things sweets, especially cookies, can you just imagine my excitement when I came across this…
Have you heard about The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap yet?
I’m still not quite sure how I stumbled upon it last week, but however it was, I’m thankful. Here’s the deal…
- Sign up.
- Receive the addresses of three other food bloggers.
- Send each of them 1 dozen homemade cookies
- Receive three different boxes of cookies for yourself from three other bloggers.
- Share…or don’t share.
It’s almost like a Secret Santa + cookie exchange all wrapped into one. I’m in love.
If you want to sign yourself up for The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap, just click here to head to the website and plug in your info. Sign ups are open through Friday, November 18th, so you’ve still got a few weeks to get on board. Feel free to spread the word, too!

Now that I’ve already committed to the swap, it’s time to start thinking about what cookies I should make. Yes, it may be a little early to start thinking about it, but I tend to be pretty awful at that whole decision-making thing.
There’s always my favorite Crackled Sugar Cookies. These have gotten the best of more than one chocolate lover (ahem, mom).
I could also go with the #1 searched recipe on STSL, the Chewy Chocolate Chip Heath Bar Cookies.
Then again, I can’t forget about the delicious Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies. They’ve been a hit on more than one occasion for sure.
However, maybe I could get really feisty and go with the Brownie-Cookie-Toffee Layer Bars.
Now those babies are sinful. I’d just have to make sure that whoever is receiving those bad boys isn’t on any sort of a diet, if ya know what I mean.
Oh boy, decisions, decisions!
Alright, so who’s going to join in on the swap with me??

Mmm all those cookies look delicious! That is a pretty neat idea to swap cookies. I think I would definitely have to share or I’d get sick trying to eat all the delicious cookies coming my way or my mom and sister would kill me for not sharing.

The Blogger Cookie Swap sounds so much fun! Whoever will be receiving your cookies or brownies will be estatic. The pictures made my mouth drool.
Yum, yum, yum!! Definitely sounds like something I’d be interested in.

Hillary [Nutrition Nut on the Run] recently posted..Running Tuesday: Why I Run
Thanks SOO much for posting about the cookie swap! I signed up today after reading your post. What a fun idea!! I work at a camp about 15 minutes from Albany each summer and I have to say that my favorite part of upstate NY is mousse trail ice cream from Stewarts. If I could create mousse trail cookies for this swap that would be PERFECT!

I remember last year around Christmas you made some Mexican wedding cookies (I think they were called) they looked amazing
Whoever gets cookies from you will be very lucky whatever you choose to bake
AnnetteCook recently posted..Catching up(in shame)
Yes, I did make those! You have a good memory
I saw this on another blog and am very interested as well! I need more reasons to bake this holiday season! lol

OOh, that sounds like fun. I’m actually going to my first cookie exchange this year, but since I just bought a Kitchen Aid mixer, I may have to do this one too. Puttin’ that mixer to work!
Emmarie @ Bananas and Beer recently posted..Nail Emergency
Ooohhhh, that cookie swap looks awesome! I’m definitely signing up!
Samantha recently posted..Disconnecting
I know this sounds so silly to ask as I’m a COOK but i’m so bad at baking! How do you keep the cookies round after baking? do you have to let the dough chill first ?
Amanda @ Maggiano Takes Austin recently posted..Our Thanksgiving
I use a cookie scoop! It works like a charm, and also keeps my hands from getting all messy. I’d definitely recommend it – I use a medium-sized scoop!
