The Competition ...
December 18, 2006
... was stiff, as you can see:
Bill brought home a sampling of all the cookies from his office Bake-Off today. Clockwise from top center (and I'm kind of guessing on the actual names - confirmation to come later):
- ginger cookie
- cranberry-filled pillow cookie
- spritz cookies
- blueberry jam thumbprint cookie
- snickerdoodle
- chocolate chip pan cookie
- peanut butter chocolate ball
- peanut butter cup cookie
- rum ball
Recipes will also be forthcoming. Quite unfortunately no one had a camera to capture all the beautiful presentations (which, I hear, ranged from silver platters to fine china).
And SHOCKINGLY my lemon snowballs won three out of the five categories: taste, aftertaste and presentation! (The "texture" category went to the chocolate peanut butter balls and "smell" went to the rum balls.)
Tonight after supper, I will be taste-testing the competition for myself - I am sure they are as delicious as they look!
