The Great Bake Off and Cookie Swap
Today is November 1, 2009. You get to set your clocks back an hour! Hooray for an extra hour of sleep! Today is also the day that submissions for the LiveMom Great Bake Off open!! That’s right….it’s time to submit your favorite original cookie recipe.
What exactly is an original cookie recipe? I’ve had several people ask me what will be accepted. Will the Nestle Chocolate Chip Cookie that’s printed on the back of the package be accepted? No. But, what if you use that as a base and then create from there? Sure!
How do you win?
You can submit your original cookie recipe here. The LiveMom staff will then choose the winner from all of the entries that are submitted between November 1, 2009 to November 30, 2009. On December 4th from 7:00- 8:30pm, we will hold The Great Bake Off and Cookie Swap at Ruta Maya on S. Congress. There, everyone will get to sample the winning cookie! And the winner will be awarded a prize valued at over $200!! We will notify the winner of the best original cookie by email prior to the event.
If you don’t have an original cookie recipe but would still like to win some awesome prizes, you will have an opportunity at the Cookie Swap! Here’s what you can do:
Bake and bring a family favorite. If you have a recipe you make every year, whether it’s been handed down from your great-grandmother or you stumbled upon it online, you also have a chance to win some awesome prizes! All you have to do is bake two dozen of your favorite cookie and bring them to the event for tasting and voting. We will have a People’s Choice and Kids’ Choice Award.
