ANOTHER COOKBOOK GIVE-AWAY SO SOON?
My last Cookbook Give-Away was such a HUGE success I thought I'd have another one right away! I received 95 amazing comments for the contest and Karen R. was the lucky winner! I also asked you why I should give away more cookbooks. No one was shy with their opinions! Wouldn't you love to be the winner of the next Great Cookbook Give-Away?
Interview, Reviews & Recipes
A few months ago, I did an interview and review for Suite101 on the fabulous new cookie cookbook "101 Easy Peasy Cookie Recipes". I also posted two recipes from the book here on my blog, one for Collosal Double Chocolate White Chip Cookies, and the other for Oranges And Cream Cookies. Check these links out to see the complete articles, recipes and reviews!
How Cool Is This?
Authors Lucinda & Heather Wallace have graciously offered to let me Give-Away NOT ONE, BUT TWO of their brand new cookie books! You read that right! You're seeing double this time! That's 2 (TWO) copies of "101 Easy Peasy Cookie Recipes"!!! Plus, they have autographed these books just for you! Check it out here on Amazon.com to read all the Amazon reviews and see what this awesome book is all about.
What do you need to do to enter this time around?
Just leave a comment right here on this blog post and tell me what your favorite cookie is. Is it the ever popular Chocolate Chip Cookies or Homemade Molasses Cookies? Are you a bar lover...I mean are Brownies and Magic Cookie Bars your thing? Or are you a hopeless romantic in love with decorated red Valentines Hearts?
I'm insanely competitive, even against myself! Is that ridiculous or what? And because I'm giving away TWO books, I'm looking for twice the comments! So, if you do happen to have your own blog, you can help spread the love and mention my "101 Easy Peasy Cookie Recipes" Cookbook Give-Away!
*** This Give-Away is NOT limited to where you live.....so even if you are outside of the US or Canada, you can still participate.***
A week from now at midnight on Tuesday May 13th, I'll let the random number generator pick a First place winner and then I'll do it all over again and pick a Second place winner!
So, that's it. That's all you have to do to win a brand new autographed copy of "101 Easy Peasy Cookie Recipes". Now, go and spread the love far and wide!
So, even though I found your site through TasteSpotting by checking out the oh-so-cool Mother's Day "I Want A Mixer" post (which CRACKED ME UP and gave me oodles of ideas myself!), I must confess, this cookie book giveaway is pretty tempting too - I ADORE baking cookies!! (And even MORE, I love making them for my son and all his friends - and everyone else who comes by that I can give them to! *smile*). My only problem is choosing "A" favorite... Snickerdoodles? Oatmeal Raisin? White Chocolate Macadamia Nut? Gobs? (Does anyone else even KNOW what a Gob IS?! *grin*) Ooohhh... Maybe Crunchy Peanut Butter Cookies - or Dark Chocolate Chunk... how do I choose?!?!?
Ah, well; I've done some perusing of your site, and am hoping to find a way to RSS it; it's fabulous! We seem to have the same sense of humor (fabulous!), and I see we both enjoy wine, as well - and, of course, both like to cook. I definitely want to keep track of your blog! *smile*
Keep up the great work - and hope you get at least ONE of those lovely mixers for Mother's Day! *grin*

I know that being your daughter, I may not qualify to get this cookbook, but MY favorite cookies are....the ones YOU and Johnny make. Molasses has become my new favorite lately. I don't think I ever really tried them before, and brought some into work. The girls there fell in love with them!
Speaking of people from work loving the cookies....there are 3 girls now, with standing orders equaling 5 packages of cookies.

Goodness...how do I choose? I like soft chewy cookies...although there is always room for a crunchy one :) A soft Oatmeal Raisin or Chocolate Chip with Walnuts. My boyfriend loves Snickerdoodles...so those seem to be the ones I make the most...and Peanut Butter...gotta love Peanut Butter Cookies! I think I need to bake today!

Just discovered your blog recently and have really enjoyed reading it. My favorite cookie would have to be white chocolate macadamia. I have never been able to bring myself to purchase macadamias to make them - so it's always special when I am out and can buy one. I really should get over it and make some already.
Posted by: Carla | May 06, 2008 at 09:27 AM
My fave? Hello Dollies - love 'em!
Posted by: Mary | May 06, 2008 at 09:37 AM

I love Oatmeal cookies or even better...No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies. For some reason each time I fix them they seem to disappear really fast.
Posted by: Amy Cooper | May 06, 2008 at 10:16 AM

I teach at a HS in rural Washington.We have a school registrar/secretary that makes her wonderful "Bakker" bars. They are chocolaty and have a wonderful crust. It is a happy day when she makes them for the staff, as much for the care she puts into them, as the chocolate.

Italian Pizelles! I was introduced to these yummies several years ago and just had to buy myself a pizelle maker. I'm always looking for a new flavor twist for them.
Have been wanting to try your orange & cream cookies, but that still awaits.
Love your chat, fun to look forward to.

Posted by: nancy | May 06, 2008 at 06:19 PM
My favorite cookie is the pecan balls rolled in powdered sugar. Why wait until xmas for them.
Posted by: Jean Hochradel | May 06, 2008 at 07:02 PM
I love reading your blog - I have been following it for quite some time. The thing that amazes me is that you cook on a boat. As a past owner of an Islander 32 Sailboat, I find this quite interesting. My favorite cookie has got to be Chocolate chip although I have yet to find the PERFECT recipe. Thanks for the chance to win - I would love to have one of those awesome cookbooks!!!
Posted by: Connie G | May 06, 2008 at 07:17 PM
Love your blog, and yes I know that's not going to help me win :)))
My favorite cookie is chewy chocolate chip, and the “peaches cookies” (cookies that look like peaches, stuffed with nuts, and chocolate filling, you can find it on my blog). But, I love all cookies!
Posted by: Medena | May 06, 2008 at 07:55 PM
Pecan Shortbread cookies, yum!! Oh, and now that I have scrolled down your homepage I am fixing to go dig around in the fridge for something sweet and hopefully there is something in there that is chocolate! ~grin~
Thanks for the giveaway! Kristi

Posted by: Carolyn | May 06, 2008 at 10:59 PM
I love sugar cookies with cream cheese frosting but snickerdoodles see the inside of my oven the most often because my little boy LOVES rolling the dough balls in sugar!
Posted by: Kiora | May 07, 2008 at 12:04 AM
Oh, cookies, where to start. As long as there are no raisins I pretty much go for them all. All time favorite is chocolate chunk fresh from the oven. Yum!! Great giveaway!
Posted by: Holly | May 07, 2008 at 01:05 AM
I have to say my most favorite cookie is a peanut butter cookie, made with crunchy peanut butter, nuts, chocolate and peanut butter chips!
Posted by: Pam Ruppel | May 07, 2008 at 01:38 AM
My heart belongs to chocolate, but my favorite cookies are Snickerdoodles- go figure! How can anything taste so custardy that isn't actually custard? Who cares! Just give me some now. Oh- wait- I'm the cook. See you in the kitchen!
Posted by: Rani | May 07, 2008 at 02:01 AM
i,ve never tried any of these cookies so i'd love a book to teach me how
