Random bakes of kindness - recipe

Vanessa Kimbell, is at it again, she's a closet crusader is the lovely Vanessa, always motivating her Twitter followers to do something or other, if its not recipe testing for her book, 'Prepped' or taking on a supermarket cafe for its poor meals for children, or dieting, or writing blogs and other articles/publications, (phew!) its feeding folk at random with baked goodies!

Her latest idea is to get us all sharing a bit of kindness with a bit of extra baking, and what better way to share the love...everyone loves home made baked goods. AND we all like to feel special, and we all love to receive a surprise teat don't we?

So here's my random act of baking kindness...I had surgery about 9 or is it 10(?) weeks ago now and when I went for my 6 week post op check up I took some of the people who looked after me so well in hospital a box of homemade (of course!) cookies/biscuits as a thank you. They did such a brilliant job of treating and caring for me and I was grateful for that.

Here they are, a mixture of brown sugar chocolate cookies and coconut, cranberry and walnut cookies...yum!

The recipe for the chocolate cookies came from the BBC Food website.

The other coconut, walnut and cranberry cookies are a version of the Tanya Ramsey ones I made on my blog.

What do you think of the idea of baking cakes or biscuits to share with others? 

Maybe you would like to do what I and lots of others are doing and bake something and share it with someone who you think deserves a treat?  

Why not do it and make someone's day a little bit special? 

You have until September the 8th to link up to Vanessa's blog with your random bake of kindness.
