I’ve entered a contest

I’m not one to enter contests, but I couldn’t help myself for this one because it’s a cookie recipe contest…LOL! If you know me in real life you know that at Christmas time I don’t give out store bought presents, instead I give something that I’ve made myself. It used to be craft type items, but eventually it got to the point that I simply didn’t have as much time as I needed or wanted to put into making things like that.

One year I was digging through one of the cookbooks that I had gotten from my late mother in law for a Christmas cookie recipe and I found a recipe that sounded interesting, so I gave it a try. I was initially disappointed because I was looking for a sugar cookie that I could frost and these cookies just didn’t look right frosted. However, to my family, these cookies were a HUGE hit. So I went ahead and made a second batch of them, but this time, before I put them in the oven, I sprinkled the tops of them with colored sprinkle sugar. It was exactly what these cookies needed and they have been a hit wherever I take them. Unfortunately for me, my friends and family members now start asking me about my cookies before Thanksgiving, reminding me how much they look forward to getting them every year. But, I don’t mind, I really don’t! I enjoy baking, but what I enjoy more is seeing people enjoy what I bake.

Anyway, I entered my cookie recipe in an online recipe contest and, if you wouldn’t mind, I would really appreciate it if you’d head over and vote for me! I think you can vote once a day, but I’ll find out for sure and let you know!  While you’re there be sure to check out the rest of her website!  She’s got some great tips and recipes!!

THANKS!
