Just in time for the cool weather baking season, I have been given a book (by my generous cousin Angie) to pass along to one lucky reader of this blog.
The book is filled with delicious cookie recipes and gift tags, for your convenience.
It is a $10.95 value and will be mailed to one lucky winner!
First of all, before you decide that jar gifts are outdated, remember, these gifts don't have to go in the same old mason jars. For a new look and twist on the jar gifts, try placing your mixes in any of these styles which can double for canisters or storing jars to be used later in any room of the house to store treasures.
These are basic styles that can be purchased at Wal-Mart, K-Mart or Target. (Be sure to purchase one that is airtight).
These would make wonderful gift ideas to take to someone who is under the weather, a school teacher, co worker, birthday , Christmas or congratulations gifts. Everyone appreciates a gift of food that is already organized for them.
Some of the recipes included are:
Grand Slam Triple Chocolate cookie mix
Gourmet Cookies
Raisin Crunch Cookies
Orange slice Cookies
Trail Cookies
White Chocolate Macadamia nut
Oatmeal Scotchies
Candy Bar Cookies
and many more traditional cookie recipes.
The contest starts today, and will end on Sunday Eve. Sept. 27 . Winner will be announced Monday 28 by 9:00 AM.
Winner will be chosen by the old fashioned name in the hat method.
Here's how you enter:

ReplyDeleteI want this book Sherri! It's been on my list to buy. I don't think jar cookies are outdated at all!
ReplyDeleteI want to make all the cookies, but I'd start with the orange slice and put the jars in the custom baskets I give out at Christmas.
And of course I follow your blog.

ReplyDeleteI think those recipes in a jar make really neat gifts. I read about one family that made up about 20 of them, filled with different mixes, to give someone for a bridal shower. I thought that was a terrific idea. I'd probably start by making the candy bar cookies, because how can you go wrong with cookies that have candy bar pieces in them? :)
ReplyDeleteLynn- that is a FANTASTIC idea to present to a new bride!
ReplyDeleteBut I want to WIN!! I want that cookbook...LOL.
ReplyDeleteAnd the oatmeal scotchies sound good.
Debbie- I've entered your name into the hat.
ReplyDeleteAwesome contest Sherri and I LOVE your idea to bake a batch of cookies each week until the holidays. I'd do that too, but they would never make it out of my apartment between my husband and I.
ReplyDeleteI think I would love the Trail Cookies!
I'd follow you here but that darn followers gadget is all goofy again!

ReplyDeleteHi Sherri,
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea!! (And kudos to your cousin for graciously donating the book!)
I know this contest isn't open to Canadian residents, but I'm happy to follow your blog anyway ... and I would post a link to this contest, but it seems I'm a little late arriving to the party at this point. (My bad!)
Either way..... I'm very intrigued by the Trail Cookies and would love to make them soon, so hopefully whoever wins the book ends up listing those as their choice. :)
Oh I'd love to win this book! I'm already a follower of this blog!
ReplyDeleteI actually made brownies in a jar last year and gave them as gifts. People LOVED them!
It's such a wonderful idea!
I just got this today!!!!! I am so shopping this weekend so I can make some jars to pass out to friends!!
ReplyDeleteIt is very good and very informative, I like it very much. Keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!
