Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap Christmas Chip Cookies

I have been waiting patiently for the 3rd Annual Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap (#FBCookieSwap) for months!  Last year, I was a new food blog and missed the boat but this year, I made sure to put a reminder on my calendar so I would NOT miss all the fun!  I am all for anything where I get to share my Christmas Chocolate Chip Cookies with bloggers from everywhere and also give back to Cookies for Cancer, a non-profit organization devoted to fighting against pediatric cancer.

Christmas is almost here, and I seriously CANNOT wait! The entire month of December is filled with such a giving, loving and beautiful spirit that I wish December was more than once a year.  With so many of us consumed with purchasing gifts and preparing stunning meals and desserts during the holidays, breakfast can sometimes be overlooked.  

But isn't breakfast the most important meal of the day?  I definitely think so.  When I saw all of my lovely Safest Choice eggs in my fridge and the seasonal eggnog recipe on their website, I knew a lovely holiday french toast recipe needed to be added to my to-do list.

Mini Eggnog Cheesecake Cookie Bites

I think I am going through a phase; a mini cheesecake cookie bite phase to be exact.  I made the originals over a month ago, and they were a hit.  Ever since, I have wanted some version of this delicious tiny morsel of happiness in my house at all times.  The different seasons and holidays bring me wonderful flavors to adapt my favorite new treat with.
