I once participated in a “for real” cookie exchange with some of my blogging buddies. I decided to whip up a batch of my Shortbread Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Of course, I couldn’t just stuff some cookies in a tin and call it a day. Since I was mailing them halfway across the country, I wanted to make the cookies a little bit special, so here’s what I did.
I found the cutest little cookie box at World Market.
Then I saw a Moose cookie cutter and knew I had to grab it, too. I wish I had bought one for myself. It’s just too cute.
The brown and white parchment paper features owls, trees, and nuts. You can see a little bit in the above pictures.
I not only used the parchment paper to line my baking sheets, but I cut a couple of pieces to fit the inside of the box to nestle the cookies. Speaking of cookies – these are some of my favorite cookies. They are buttery bites of chocolate goodness and so easy to make. You’ve got to try them.

You did all that for a cookie exchange??? Lol If there was a prize, I know you would’ve won. :)I want that box and cookie cutter too.
Don’t you just love that box? I saw it in an email I received from World Market and I knew it would be perfect for my cookie exchange. You know I always believe in going the extra mile no matter what I’m doing. 🙂
Chocolate AND shortbread…you did it again Alli! Now I have to account for these Weight Watchers that I’m going to sacrifice when I make these cookies! 😉
My excuse is that it’s Christmas. I may regret it come January 1st and those new year’s resolutions, but for now, dang, they’re good. 🙂
Oh I love everything about this recipe. The box and the cookies look so yummy. Tweeted
Thanks for the tweet, Tammy and that awesome, FREE blog planner. You’re so sweet.
I love the box that you used to package your cookies. Wish there were a World Market in my town! Your cookie recipe sounds wonderful. I love a recipe that taste great and doesn’t have a lot of ingredients.
I have to drive an hour to World Market, but then I have to drive an hour to do any major shopping. 🙁 I’m used to be by now. Seems I’m an hour’s drive from everywhere – Charlotte, Columbia, Sumter, Florence . . .
Oh dang…pinning!
I’ve never done a cookie exchange before, I would love to do this some day. Pinning for sure!
World Market always has the GREATEST things. I might swing by and see if I can find some cute cookie boxes like yours – such a great idea for an add-on holiday gift. I know I personally love getting baked goods as presents!
OK, seriously I want one of these cookies right now! I can never resist one of your delicious recipes and can’t wait to try this one!
Oh, wow, these look wonderful! Why have I never thought to combine the two–shortbread AND chocolate?! Yum! 🙂
Making these babies tomorrow!!! Finished all my quilts and other homemade gifts, making crock pot crack today…shortbread chocolate chip tomorrow!!! Thank you 🙂
This is gorgeous from start to finish! I love the box and the moose, but those cookies look amazing. PINNED!!! 🙂
