This afternoon I am talking about the Great Blogger Cookie Swap!!!! After seeing the Cookie Swap on Courtney’s blog, I knew right away I wanted to be a part of it and become more active in the blog community!
Thanks to Julie and Lindsay for organizing the swap!

The cookies I chose to make were Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies!!! These are my favorite cookies to make and I was so excited to share them with Talida, Caitlin, and Sarah!
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) Nestle Dark Chocolate and Mint Chips
1 package of Andes Mints baking chips
Preheat oven to 375° F. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
These cookies are chewy and soft and full of minty goodness! If you love minty treats add these into your holiday cookie rotation!
