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!

UPDATE: The Winner! The winner, chosen at random, is Mandy from Wisconsin! The prize has been received and she reports that she will be hosting a cookie party this weekend! (By the way, her favorite cookie? "Mexican Wedding Cakes/Swedish Teacakes, or whatever you like to call them. Ground pecans, and double-dipped in powdered sugar! Very strong memories of home and baking cookies with my mother.")

I love how they dissolve in your mouth:)
Shortbread cookies cut into Christmas trees and decorated with icing and sprinkles.
My favorite Christmas cookie are the no-bake chocolate-peanut-butter-oatmeal cookies I make with my daughter. She calls them Reindeer Poop!
My new favorite cookies are oatmeal butterscotch - but for the holiday family and friend bonding I still love decorating sugar cookies together.
Thanks so much,

Sugar cookies, the ones that are made with powdered sugar, and instead of almond flavoring I like mine with anise flavoring, so they taste like black licorice, but will not stain your teeth black.

I love making spritz cookies with my mom's cookie press!
According to my monitoring, billions of people all over the world get the mortgage loans from different creditors. Thence, there is a good possibility to receive a bank loan in any country.
I received 1 st personal loans when I was 20 and it aided me a lot. Nevertheless, I need the secured loan over again.
