I have a couple of great items that have been sitting around my office, just begging for a great giveaway opportunity. In fact, I might have a few giveaways coming up! With the holidays upon us, I couldn’t think of a better time to start than now. This giveaway is for a box of holiday baking goodies from Nestle – including coupons for holiday baking essentials, such as Tollhouse chocolate chips (I have to recommend trying the Dark Chocolate & Mint Chips that I found at the market the other day), as well as some samples of their other products – and a pair of matching Adult and Child aprons that will help keep you clean during your holiday baking.
To enter the giveaway, simply leave a comment naming your favorite holiday treat to bake and winner will be chosen at random when the contest closes. Be sure to include your e-mail address on the comment form so I can contact you if you win (e-mails will not be viewable on the site). This is a holiday weekend so you have until midnight PST on Sunday, November 28th to enter! Good luck – and great holiday baking!
Update: Contest is now closed! Thanks for entering!

November 26, 2010My favorite holiday treat are from my mom’s German grandma – snichen – little German cookies with two ingredients: butter, flour. You mix them together, fold the dough several times, and bake. They act almost like laminated dough! Then you glaze them with a bit of lemon glaze – they melt in your mouth.

November 27, 2010I love to bake cinnamon rolls with pecans or walnuts. Make them every year as gifts. Had a few marriage proprals when they were eaten and even an offer to pay for the divorce from my hubby so they could marry me! So the cinnamon rolls win as my favorite thing to make.

November 27, 2010My mom’s family recipe for gingersnaps. She only makes them at Christmas, so now that I live across the country I make them so my apartment smells like HOME.
Erin R
November 27, 2010I love making and decorating gingerbread cookies. Though it means that the cats have to spend a very extended amount of time cooped up while the icing dries (they love cookies, unfortunately).

November 27, 2010I have a great Cranberry Rugelach cookie that is wonderful to make during the holiday (it uses honey and is a not-too-sweet alternative to all of the goodies of the holidays). But when my sweet tooth has taken over, there is no replacement for Grandma’s SPRITZ cookies!
Thanks for the giveaway!

November 27, 2010I love to make a white chocolate peppermint mousse fudge cake. It has 3 fudge cake layers with the peppermint mousse in between and is covered with a chocolate ganache. It’s time-consuming but my family always asks for it, even when it’s not Christmas-time!
Cherish
November 27, 2010In my family we make cut-out cookies out of peanut butter cookie dough and decorate them with tons of sugary frosting. Christmas wouldn’t be the same without them!

November 27, 2010My favorite is thumb print cookies-not because I think they’re so great, but because if I’m making them, that means both I and my best friend since first grade made it to New Hampshire at the same time and are hanging out.
