Signing up for this was the best idea ever.
I mean, who doesn't love getting 3 dozen cookies in the mail?!? I got pizzelles, Moroccan Briouats and raw orange date cookies!
orange date cookies from Nadia at Cooking My Way To Healthy
pizzelles from Brenna at Ingredients of a 20 Something
Moroccan Briouats from MarocMama
Basically we were matched up with 3 people and you send each of them a dozen cookies. So each person gets a dozen cookies from three different people. A.k.a. best. idea. ever.
EVER. The three people I sent cookies to were:
- Melanie from Delectable Baked Goods
- Caitlyn from Chopsticks and Measuring Cups
- Bethany from Bake or Buy
