Cake Poll: Favorite Christmas Cookies and a Huge Wilton Cookie Exchange Giveaway!
Friday, December 4, 2009
So, check it. Several weeks ago I received an email from Wilton asking if I'd like to check out their new book, Wilton Cookie Exchange--a collection of ideas and recipes for creative Christmas cookies, with plenty of cookie-exchange party ideas. Um, of course I would like to check it out. And to my surprise and delight, about a week later, I received a package--with not only the book, but a veritable truckload of sweet cookie swap schwag--from cookie cutters to decorating gel and sprinkles, to parchment paper and decorative boxes, and even invites--so that I could host my own cookie exchange party. Yes! And so I did. Here are just a few of the cookies people brought:
Pretty much, it was the awesomest holiday party ever, with dozens and dozens of beautiful cookies and great company.
And you know what? You too can experience this cookie nirvana. Wilton has very generously offered to donate the works--the cookie exchange book and comprehensive party package, including what by my estimation tops over $100 worth of cookie decorating and party products--to one lucky CakeSpy reader.
How do you enter yourself to win? It's totally easy. All you have to do is leave a comment saying what your favorite Christmas cookie is (while not necessary, please do feel free to link to a recipe!) in the comments section below. But enter soon: the Cake Poll will close at 12PM PST on Tuesday, December 8, and one winner will be chosen at random. US entrants only this time, please. Good luck!

I absolutely love making these coconut macaroons for the Holidays and any special occasion...it was the first impression my soon-to-be mother-in-law had of me! :D When they say a way to a man is through his stomach...they stop to soon: The best way to a man and his family is showing off baking skills...with much of mine learned through Cakespy! Thanks!http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/coconut-macaroons-by-martha?backto=true
sugar cookie with LOTS of frosting. :)
my favorite chirstmas cookie : gingerbread man ! :)
There are two depending on who makes them: in a cookie exchange, I love getting the Russian tea cookies.I look forward to making my annual holiday butter spritz cookies that I top the middle w/ homemade jam.
I really just love sugar cookies with lots of crazy icing on them.
My favorite Christmas cookie would have to be decorated classic sugar cookies.Yum!!!!
I love to make pistachio-cranberry biscotti because they have red and green and look so Christmasy! Plus, they are already hard, so they don't go bad if shipped. ;)
My favorite Christmas cookie is probably just good, old fashioned chocolate chip! It just reminds me of being a kid and leaving them out for Santa.
It's not Christmas without Pepparkakor!
My mom makes the best lady locks - it's a buttery flaky dough filled with a sweet cream cheese frosting. Yum!
I wanna know where I can get a recipe for those creamscicle squares!
