Baking Cookbook Giveaway!

It’s time, darlings. December 1st. High holiday baking season is upon us! Don’t fight it. Just let it happen. To help you get inspired, I thought it might be fun to give to one of you lovely people TWO fabulous baking tomes that are positively tickling me as of late (in a fabulously fun and totally not-creepy way). Get in on it!

 The first book is the absolutely adorable and dreamy cookbook from Miette Patisserie, an icon of pastry perfection based here in San Francisco. The photos of the shop alone will make your heart sing. And then there are recipes that practically coo to be included in this year’s holiday cookie tins. Believe me when I say that Miette’s peanut butter cookies and walnut shortbreads are quite fine. And what’s also sort of great is that this book is so feminine and elegant, it makes you work the word “quite” into your personal lexicon a lot more often than you regularly would.

I mean, the pages are scalloped, friends. And come Spring, there’s plenty of frothy confections to get into. It’s the sort of cookbook you’ll bake from, but also flip through at your leisure when you feel like dreaming a little. The gift that keeps on giving, yes?

The second book, The Treats Truck Baking Book by Kim Ima,  is full of so much heart I gave it a little hug after flipping through it for the first time. True story. Regardless of whether or not you think this qualifies me to receive a stocking full of therapy this Christmas, I’d say it means you need this sweet little book in your life. You know that any woman who dreams up a food truck business solely to make sweet treats easily accessible to the masses is gonna have some excellent cookie recipes. Like, so many that they’re divided up into regular cookies and sandwich cookies sections. Wowza. And don’t even get me started on the Dessert Nachos. Dessert. Nachos. Hold me.

So we’ve got two sides of the holiday baking coin here–the fanciful and refined, and the homey and insanely delicious. If this combination doesn’t get you preheating the oven and tying those apron strings, well…I’ll reserve judgement. It’s the holidays, after all. But I think we all know what I’m thinking here.

TO ENTER: Just leave a comment telling me about the baked good that screams HOLIDAY! to you. What’s the treat that you bake up yourself or someone else makes for you that makes you go, “Ahhh…NOW it’s the holidays”? Links to recipes are welcome too! I’d love hear what your holiday baking plans are, friends.

AND! If you feel so inclined, if you’re not already doing so, following me on Twitter and/or Facebook will earn you an extra entry for each. Just make sure you leave me your Twitter handle and/or Facebook name in your comment so I can find you and start harassing you on the internets. The winner will be Tweeted and Facebooked about for all to see. If you’re all, “I’ve already BEEN following you!”, tell me so and you’ll still get extra entries. Fa-la-la-la-la!

The winner will be chosen here at random and announced on Thursday morning, December 8th. Entries must be in by Wednesday, December 7th, by 6:00 pm PST. I will ship to the winner wherever you may be, so international bakers welcome!

***Giveaway has ended!***

  • Anything chocolate peppermint screams Christmas to me!!!

    • Anything with chocolate and peppermint screams holiday to me.

      • I didn’t mean to say almost the exact thing as Carly….but uhh…great minds think alike?

  • It’s not really a “baked” good per se, but anything dipped in almond bark makes me do a little Christmas dance!

    Also, I liked you on Facebook! http://www.facebook.com/redtableomaha

  • We make pumpkin chocolate chip muffins for Thanksgiving, and my memories of eating the leftovers the first few days of the holiday season make me think it’s the holidays!

  • Gingerbread. I’m classic. Though I do love chocolate peppermint anything, and sugar cookies are always a must. And it is not possible to go through the holidays without auditioning at least one new recipe. Alas with foot surgery tomorrow I will have to wait a couple of weeks to get back into the kitchen :( Oh and I’ve been facebooking and twittering for a while now…not that I’ve figured out how to properly use twitter!

  • I’ve already BEEN following you on Facebook :)

  • glazed orange spice star cookies!

  • I now follow you in Twitter (my Twitter name is Shockacooter)

  • Apple Dumplings!!

  • I’m totally torn – lately pumpkin anything gets my attention, but I have to say that baking christmas-shaped shortbread cookies and decorating them with my two little girls has gotten me all in the mood to celebrate Christmas this year! Here’s my favorite shortbread cookie recipe with royal icing to pipe & flood: cakejournal.com
    I think her site is down right now, but her tutorials are wonderful!

  • Well, pumpkin anything is holiday fun for me, and pecan pie is something we usually reserve for the holidays… But what really signifies holiday baking for me is gingerbread!! Yes, I can make it all year round, but it is extra special this time of year!! But almost everything tastes better on the holidays! :) I already follow you on FB – <3 :)

  • yay, cookbooks!! anything gingerbread :)

  • I’ve been making homemade caramels to give away at Christmas the last few years. I just finished a batch last night – now it feels like Christmas is coming. Thanks for the giveaway. I’ve been following for a while now, Facebook: Nancy Tourtellott and Twitter: mom2ross

  • I will always associate thick, soft sugar cookies, decorated with too many sprinkles, with my favorite holiday memories.

    Love love love them.

  • Also following on Facebook, and will hopefully be posting that I’m following on twitter soon.

    Must.find.twitter. login.

  • It’s not too normal, but my family always had knishes around the holidays, which is a thing I’d like to get back into!

  • It’s just not the holidays without freshly baked cookies for Santa.

  • Any cookie or cake with ginger in it!

    Also following you on Facebook!

  • Gingerbread (cookies and cake) spell Christmas for me!

  • Anything that combines mint and chocolate!

  • It’s not Christmas without peanut butter fudge. If my mom didn’t bring it to the family Christmas party, my uncles would complain all night. She passed away before I could get the recipe. I’m hoping my dad still has it somewhere.

  • The recipe that screams, or maybe croons, “holidays” to me is a recipe for Amish Pumpkin Bread I found in an old cookbook in Kansas. It fills my kitchen with a smell that evokes Fall, Winter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years all at once. My family adores it and begs me to make it year-round. But to keep it speciel, I only bake it between Thanksgiving and New Year’s.

  • Waffle cookies! One of my first jobs on “cookie day” was turning our Belgian lukken irons to make crispy, delicious cookies one at a time. They are synonymous with Christmas to me =)
    I’m @kathrynjump on twitter, love your tweets!

  • Snow Globe Cookies!!!!!! They are so Christmas!!!!!!! i am going to make some traditional vanilla sugar cookies decorated with royal icing to celebrate christmas…..plus some some globe cookies too!

  • Its christmas tree spritz cookies. They are a favorite of my husband and children and it puts everyone in the mood for the holidays

  • Chocolate mint brownies!!

  • I am a fan on Facebook. :0)

  • Oooh, it would have to be decorated sugar cookies. Maybe because my mom always made hers around Christmas time, and I plan on making them with my daughter this year!

  • For me … Christmas means Almond Roca (aka English Toffee). My mom makes it every year and now my sisters and I do.

  • My grandmother always made delicate sandwich cookies filled with a sugary-buttery filling. They melt in your mouth.

  • I just baked Chocolate Snappers, which are chocolate cookies with peppermint in them that you roll in sugar. They are cookies I have been making since I was little and they always make me ready for Christmas!

  • Monster cookies – we always have them this time of year.

  • My grandma always made snowballs and chocolate fudge for christmas every year. it’s hard to believe it will be four years since she died. I haven’t had a snowball since.

  • The holidays of course bring tons of pumpkin pie and gingerbread and whatnot, but I think for me, my Mom’s empanadas with sweet potato and pineapple filling are what come to mind first. The anise flavor in the crust! The cinnamon and sugar on top! Simply amazing, each and every time.

  • When I think of the holidays around my house I think of the fresh homemade pumpkin roll.

  • Oi, this is hard. We actually don’t have many holiday traditions and I only got into baking 2 years ago or so…So I guess what screams holidays to me is trying all the new recipes to send to family and friends! If I had to pick something though, these eggless sugar cookies (eating as much dough as you actually use to make cookies is practically required!) that we cut out in Christmas-sy shapes =)

  • I love all holiday treats! Homemade Peppermint bark, fudge, Christmas cookies, anything chocolate, making gingerbread houses….

  • Buche de Noel!

  • I follow you on Facebook!

  • Snowball cookies, molasses cookies, fudge for certain, and sometimes those peanut butter cookies that you make in a muffin tin and then put a Reese’s PB cup in the center after they are done.

  • Though I wouldn’t say they’re my favorite to eat, no Christmas is complete without gingerbread snowflakes. If I’m being honest I would say my favorite treat from the cookie tray is always the cornflake holly that is colored the most obnoxious green with 3 red hots for berries. I’m sophisticated like that.

  • The baked goods I think of when I hear “Christmas” are sugar cookies, lots and lots of sugar cookies!

  • peppermint bark for sure!

  • Noel Nut Balls. They’re my absolute favorite. A cookie loaded with pecans that looks like a mini snowball? Come on!

  • Every year I try to make really delicate snowflake cookies with simple decorations. They look so pretty all tied up with ribbon. A big platter of assorted homemade cookies is what screams holidays to me though. Not the prettiest, but just the most nostalgic. On a paper plate, of course.

  • Homemade shortbread cookies and Nanaimo bars! Nanaimo bars – http://www.nanaimo.ca/EN/main/visitors/NanaimoBars.html

  • Fudge! It’s not exactly baked, but my family only makes it this time of year.

  • When my Grandma Anderson would drive up in her little blue Rambler overflowing with Christmas cookies packed in 3-lb. coffee cans! Armloads of them would go into the house! Oh, the thinly-rolled sugar cutouts & shortbread, Krumkake, Rosettes, Spritz, Nanaimo bars (which we called Canadian bars), divinity, fudge and Penuche. As a child, I didn’t appreciate the penuche but now…oh my! My Dad always said it was the best in the world and I didn’t know what I was missing. Well, I miss them both now they are gone but when I make Grandma’s Penuche and I get it JUST RIGHT – that’s the Holidays for me.

  • My mom’s russian tea cookies. Only at Christmas

  • I make a Christmas brownie – with white chocolate chunks, green and red glace cherries, slivered almonds and Christmas spices – ginger, cinnamon and ground cloves mixed into a normal brownie mix – delish and so Christmassy! I already ‘like’ you on facebook! xox

  • Cut out sugar cookies.

  • Trifle makes me think of the holidays!

  • I make a pecan cookie inwhich I process toasted pecans into a paste the consistency of peanut butter.

  • What a wonderful giveaway! Thank you! My holiday treat is always my grandmother’s sugar cookie recipe. We make and decorate them every year for chanukkah, and they are like no other sugar cookies!

  • I forgot to say that I follow you on facebook!

  • Monkey munch!! We’d all make it in the kitchen together as a family. It’s gotten considerably less messy year by year!

  • OMG. I’ve seen the Meitte cookbook floating around but I’ve never bought it. It looks so delicate and sophisticated. And the second book has a recipe for dessert nachos? Now this I have to see.

    I know it’s not totally origonal, but chocolate chip cookis and milk just cream Christmas to me. I can’t wait to start baking. I have mint M&Ms and I plan on putting them in a chocolate cookie tomorrow. :D

  • By the way, I’ve liked you for some time on Facebook. Look up Becca Looney if you want someone to harass.

  • Maple tart. Or anything pumpkin-y. I make a maple tart every Christmas for the in-laws, and pumpkin streusel cookies about every two weeks from the end of October to mid-January. Thank goodness my neighbors and co-workers are so willing to eat all of them!

  • We used to dip pretzels in almond bark, and make peanut butter balls. Those always say the holidays are starting for me.

  • Gotta have my Pumpkin Spice Lattes!

    Every holiday season I love to make Chocolate Crinkles! So yummy and simple!

  • I doubt I can choose one….anything chocolate mint, pumpkin-y, ginger-y or with cranberries screams holiday to me!

  • Every Christmas when I return to Pennsylvania, my grandma has plates of cream wafers sitting around the house–often with frosting in festive colors! The recipe is amazing (I blogged about it last December: http://diningwithdusty.blogspot.com/2010/12/12-shades-of-christmas-part-ii.html) and well worth the effort. It wouldn’t be the holidays without grandma’s cookies.

  • Was already a ‘liker’ on Facebook :)

  • Now following you on Twitter. Thanks for the opp!

  • For me, Christmas isn’t Christmas without my Grandmother’s cookies. All of them are recipes that have been passed down through our family and connect to a different part of our heritage. Pfeffernusse, Rum Balls, and Anise Meringue Drops are just a few of the tasty treats always featured at her house. :D Happy Holidays everyone!

    ps. I have been following you on your blog and facebook for awhile and I just have to say that I think you are a baking goddess!

  • Anything cranberry, eggnog or peppermint makes me think of Christmas. I plan to do a lot of baking with all of them!!

  • What screams Chrismas to me is sinking my teeth into a frozen tart stolen from the tupperware in my Mom’s deep freeze. We all do it and wonder why there is barely anything left by Chritmas day

  • The main holiday dessert that my family always has are the snickerdoodles that I always make! It’s a delicious familiy recipe and tradition!

  • I already follow you on Twitter.

  • That would have to be a cream filled pumpkin roll.

  • I “like” Piece of Cake on FB

  • For me christmas is about family being together anf of eating together, one of my favorite thing to eat is fruitcake cookie my mother in law makes also peanut butter balls.

  • 5 flavor pound cake – yum!!

  • It’s not Christmas without an array of my grandma’s tasty confections, most notably her caramel nut logs.

  • Every Christmas I make Caramel apple pie with cinnamon whip cream topping along with good ol fashioned gingerbread folk.

  • Peppermint Pinwheel cookies scream Holidays to me – even though I HATE peppermint.

  • Cookies called “Sara/Sörur” in Iceland are the cookies that scream christmas too me – no christmas without baking them with my mom and then sharing with family and friends over the holidays!

  • The baked good that screams holiday for me is certainly christmas sugar cookie cutouts ! Not my favorite but definately a holiday tradition!

  • Definitely Ginger Molasses Cookies! I have already made 2 batches with intentions of at least making one more!

  • Gingersnap cookies and gingerbread are two of my favorite holidays treats, all of those warm spices and delicious smells when baking really do scream holidays to me.

  • I follow you on Twitter!

  • AND I like you on Facebook :)

  • I only seem to make butter tarts in December! I wonder why since they are one of my favorite treats!

  • Gingersnaps are definitely my main holiday favorite! A long time friend of mine makes the best ones, but I have yet to get the recipe off of him. I also make gingerbread men for the nieces and nephews to decorate every year.

    I also liked the blog on Facebook

  • Screams holiday for me? I would have to say my mom’s ultimate gingerbread pancakes. There’s nothing like a sweet-gingerbread-treat in the morning– along with a touch of motherly love :)

  • The first Sunday of December I go to my sister’s house. While she, her kids, and her husband decorate the tree, I make an old family favorite … Molasses Crinkle Cookies. Just as the tree is finished, I pull them out of the oven. Then we turn out all the house lights and sit by the tree eating warm cookies and watching the tree lights. Ahh, it’s Christmas time!

    P.S. I’m a facebook fan too.

  • Any sort of cookies just means christmas to me! I am so excited for baking this december!

  • I like you on facebook! (Amilia Nimblett)

  • I follow you on Twitter! @justeverydayme

  • Cheesecakes and brownies topped with candy cane sprinkles!

  • I think pumpkin pie, or anything with nutmeg, makes me feel like it’s the holidays!

  • I enjoy making cinnamon rolls during the holidays…. that always makes it feel like Christmas for me! :)

  • Shortbread is always a Christmas treat at our house :)

  • Mmmmm, my grandma and I always make these Christmas cookies together. They’re really simple butter cookies… Or are they sugar cookies? They have copious amounts of both, so I can never remember! But they’re everyone’s favorite, and it just isn’t Christmas without them. All they need is a little homemade frosting. And only sometimes. ;)

    I already liked you page on Facebook, my name is Melissa Ann De Ville, and now I’m heading over to Twitter to follow you there, I’m @Nyctomancer17!

  • Interrestingly enough, the traditional chocolate and chestnut “buche” in my family is not baked, but so good Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas without it :)

  • LOVE ginger & molasses cookies!!

  • It all starts for me just after apple season ends with pumpkin pie, bread, muffins, etc. Then the holidays hit a majo spike mid-December with gingerbread, peppermint stick ice cream and decorated sugar cookies. Then the year must glide out nicely with something rich, dark, chocolatey, and (ideally) accommanied by champagne or a red raspberry or cherry port… Ahhh… (And I TOTALLY sypmathize with you! I just had SIX wisdom teeth extracted and can’t eat anything =( To truly empathize, I just liked you on Facebook, too – get well soon!!!) <3 Kristi

  • At Christmas my mom and I always make dark chocolate espresso cookies dipped in mint glaze and dark chocolate along with sour cream twist cookies with red and green sprinkles. I am incredibly excited to come home from my study abroad in Spain for the holidays to make them with her.

  • Gingerbread = holidays :)

  • Definitely Christmas Cookies.
    I’m living in Japan and it is sometimes hard to find some ingredients in your recipes.
    But I really enjoy your website and tried more than a few recipes.

  • RED VELVET CAKE just screams HOLIDAY to me!!

  • I follow you on Twitter.

  • I follow you on Facebook.

  • When I was younger I always knew it was getting close to christmas when the mincemeat was bought to make tradition good ol mince pies, I used to bake them with my dad. it was always bought pastry though, but now I’m a bit older (16) I make them from scratch. Mince pies will always remind of Christmas and when I was little.

  • Following on twitter @fairrycupcake

  • beautiful book thanks for the chance to win…e*

  • Peppermint mocha always reminds me of christmas

  • gingerbread cookies definitely scream holiday to me

  • I’m trying to think of one thing I consistently make around the holidays, but I’m coming up blank..
    HOWEVER, two memories: one, my mom has a tradition of making a New York style cheesecake (she grew up in Jersey, then moved to CA in her 20s) for our former neighbors every Christmas eve; two, our current neighbors always make chocolate-dipped peanut-butter balls, and hand them out only at Christmas – and never with a recipe! So that’s the only time of year I get them!

  • For me it is any kind of christmas cookies but my favoirte ones are chesspattern ones.

  • Only at this time of year do I bake jam cake and prune cake with buttermilk sauce…the smell of warm spiced filled air…ahhhh, divine!

  • Our family has a great recipe for crackle-topped ginger cookies, almost a molasses cookie, they are great dipped in coffee or milk, but when I smell them baking, it is definitely Christmas time!

  • The baked good that “SCREAMS” holiday for me is a Red Velvet Cake. My mom makes one every Christmas. This is the only time of year she bakes it. My mouth is watering right now just thinking about it. LOL

    I’m new to your blog. One of my friends just recently found your blog and she was nice enough to share. I sure have enjoyed reading. Thanks

  • Brownies with nutmeg, clove, cinnamon and chestnuts really scream holiday at me. When they’re still a bit warm and moist with a nice cup of tea, hmmm.

  • Anything with cinnamon or marzipan.

  • cut out cookies in holiday shapes!

  • twitter – lbandj

  • facebook fan – Lori Beth C…..

  • My best friend and I have a tradition of making Gingerbread Men each year. It takes the entire day to bake and decorate them, but its totally worth it. It’s always fun to make a Gingerbread version of yourself :)

  • Following you on Facebook from my blogs page!

    https://www.facebook.com/pages/Thursday-Night-Baking/276097445747916

  • Stalking you on twitter :)
    @themissmadeline

  • My mom’s snickerdoodles! Her’s ALWAYS turn out better than mine though, must be that Mom magic!

    I follow you on twitter (GarbageGr206) AND facebook (Shannon Still)

  • Apple Pie Cookies definitely scream “holiday” to me :) They have all the yummy goodness of the real deal, but the cuteness of being so small and bite-sized. (Now I’m craving some!) – Happy Holidays!

    • Also, I’m following you on Facebook and Twitter (@anumaziz_). P.S. I love the scalloped pages – what a dreamy cookbook!

  • For me, the holidays is all about the gingerbread. Partly because when I was younger, my mom would craft all the pieces and we’d all make gingerbread houses. My favorite gingerbread house memory was the year where she made enough pieces for one house… and half the wall and roof of another one. So my younger sister’s house that she made with my mom looked like something out of a Martha Stewart show… while my other sister and I turned the other pieces into some kind of medieval fort with gumdrop knights and pretzel-legged horses… who immediately launched a siege upon the perfectly appointed gingerbread wonder. Too funny.

    Love your blog, like you on Facebook, and your tweets are adorable (@katierutledge).

    Hope you’re well!

  • For me, I go traditional with my heritage. Cannolli screams holiday to me. Any holiday. However we do make a traditional cookie only at this time of year as well. Scalidi (which I am probably spelling wrong) were also traditional as was a similar cookie that was made with a dough with wine and orange peel, fried and then dipped in honey. Yummy!

  • I absolutely love anything with peppermint especially peppermint brownies! I feel like it screams holiday since I cover them with Hershey’s candy cane kisses. Yum!

  • holiday sweets were defined by my grandmother’s baking. she always made fudge, candy and especially one cookie….hidden treasures. to this day, when I bake them, I think of her and the holidays. great memories…

  • The cookie that screams holiday? Sugar Cookies

  • Love love love shortbread!

  • Peppermint and chocolate, making some this afternoon

  • Whenever we visit her house for Christmas, my grandmother always has on hand these wonderful pecan shortbread cookies covered in powdered sugar. It wouldn’t be Christmas at her house without them!

  • making my Grandma’s fudge and suagr cookies every year with my daughter brings back memories of making them everyyear with my grandma while she was still alive.

  • Snowballs, of course! White, powdery, and sweet with mini-choc. chips…yum.

  • I have to say that it’s not Christmas without a real german Stollen with marzipan!! Yummy

  • Anything chocolate and peppermint screams holiday to me. My great aunt makes the most amazing chocolate crinkle cookies with crushed peppermint candies, and we wait for them all year!

  • i like cheesecake. any cheesecakes will make me happy.

  • i liked and followed you on FB. thanks.

  • The recipes that scream Christms to me are Spritz cookies, shortbread and the easiest no-bake snowballs. I must admit though that it isn’t really Christmas without my mother’s heavenly fruitcake (which we only get about once every five years) or my homemade mincemeat in tarts. I get by with the first three, but the spirit decends upon me if we have fruitcake and tarts!

    This year chocolate and candy canes have been nagging at my brain so I plan to make a big pan of your Super crunchy pepermint bark!

  • Apple pie is my favorite holiday treat because it is one of the thing everyone in my family loves! this year I plan on making apple pie cupcakes just for something different! I haven’t found the perfect recipe yet but I’m thinking of finally trying to make up my own! I just started following you on twitter my name is @leannekridl!

  • Sugar Cookies! Once a year, me & my boys spend one day rolling out and cutting tons of sugar cookies. Then the 2nd day icing and decorating them. We’ve gotten pretty good over the years! We package them as fancy as we can with big bows! Most of our friends can’t believe we made them! So when sugar cookie times comes around each year, we know its Christmas!

  • I’d have to go with either my grandmothers Molasses Crinkle cookies, or Caramel Puffcorn. The molasses for the smell, although I will make other times of the year, but the Caramel Puffcorn ONLY for Christmas!

  • Peppermint bark, sugar cookies, and gingerbread are THE scents of Christmas for me!

  • I know its the holidays when the whole family is home and we have our favorite chocolate cookies with Andies candies melted on top :)

  • Frosted sugar cookies with Christmas sprinkles scream Christmas to me. When I pull out my mom’s beat up metal cookie cutters it takes me back to when I was 7!

  • I collect all kinds of cookbooks, and would love to have this in my collection, but the best cookie that says its Christmas time is my friends Kris Kringle Cookies…they just make you feel like Christmas inside and out, the smell, the taste, and of course the name of them. And I am a fan of your on Facebook too.

  • [...] really just popped in to let you all know who’s gonna get their sugar-covered hands all over the great set of baking cookbooks I put up for grabs last [...]
