Happy Monday! This weekend wasn’t all that great. My number 1 Florida Gators suffered a miserable loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. The Duke went to Alabama, so it hurts even more. The Tide will compete against Texas for the National Title in Pasadena in January. I half-heartedly say Roll Tide.
Onto more important business. I stumbled upon the Mrs. Kringles Cake ‘n Crumbs Holiday Cookie Bakeoff hosted by Brooke at Tongue-N-Cheeky and I knew I had to compete. Her blog is super cute and you must pay her a visit. The theme of the contest is Santa’s Favorite Cookies. I’d been dreaming up a peanut butter snickerdoodle type cookie for a while, so I knew this was the perfect time to debut it. While at the grocery store, I decided to make a creamy, dreamy white chocolate filling for the cookies…kinda whoopie pie-esque, if you will. I was really happy with the results! So now it’s time to submit my recipe, and I have a favor to ask. Please, please, please click here and leave a comment about my cookie on Tongue-N-Cheeky blog. The contest takes into account any comments that are made on my behalf, so run, don’t walk to her site! She’s also giving away lots of goodies for those of you that leave comments, so what do you have to lose?? Please and thank you!
