I've baked thousands of cookies for my Real Estate clients, friends, and family over the years. It seems they never get tired of seeing me arrive at the door with my yearly Christmas tin of sweet treats. I usually start baking in November to prepare for Decembers pop-by's. It's a labour of Love that is so well received that I cannot imagine switching to another type of gift giving.
I'm going to give something back to the ActiveRain community in appreciation for all the nice comments, phone calls and emails regarding my cookie baking adventures, and my message inserts.
It seems that cookie baking is a traditional activity that's associated with comfort, home, childhood; with simple moments in life. An activity that has endured through modern lifestyle advances, economic upheavals and changing food trends, has to be recognized.
This idea was inspired by Sally Weatherley-Exit Stage Right-Vancouver BC , who first traded a cookie recipe with me a few weeks back. I thought it would be fun to raise the cookie awareness level up a notch, and to spread some joy.
So, in keeping with this sentiment, I'm going to give away a big little prize, for one lucky ActiveRain member. A Big Book entitled "the ultimate cookie book", a volume that I've added to my collection of stolen inspired recipes. I've tweaked many formulas to make them my own.
