Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!! My dear friend Camilla Saulsbury, talented cookbook author and cooking contest queen has offered to give 3 of her beautiful “Shortcut Cookies” cookbooks to Picky Palate readers! I have had the pleasure of meeting Camilla at numerous cooking competitions and I must say she is not only a talented cook and baker, but a wonderful friend too! This is just in time for your Valentine’s Day Baking too!
Here is some information on her book:
With over 745 recipes for cookies starting with packaged doughs, mixes, and cereals, Shortcut Cookies is one of Camilla’s best books yet. And given her penchant for perfection, you can be sure anything Camilla’s tested will be delicious enough for the school functions, bake sales and friends.
Some stand-outs from the book include an Italian Cheesecake Bar made with refrigerated sugar cookie dough, ricotta cheese, and traditional Italian flavorings of orange, golden raisin and hazelnuts; Lemon Curled Swirled Cheesecake Bars made with a packaged lemon cake mix base; Mango Cream Bars, with a crust of crushed gingersnaps and cream cheese & fresh lime topping and a recipe called “Dad’s Double Peanut Butter Frosted Brownies” made up of a brown sugar doctored brownie mix and topped with Camilla’s homemade peanut butter frosting. My favorite chapter is always “Brownies” and Camilla has a bunch including Turkish Coffee Brownies, Whiskey Brownies and Aztec brownies which I will review very soon.
Over on Camilla’s blog Shortcut Cookies, she’s taking recipes from the book and making them with all-natural and gluten free mixes. Be sure to check it out.

Okay… really original, I know, but my favorite cookie is a chocolate chip. The type changes based on the week!
Hi Jenny…This book looks great! It is tough to narrow it down, but I think my favorite cookie is brown butter shortbread. Simple, but delicious!
My favorite cookie would have to be a really, really good sugar cookie with delicious frosting. They key in my opinion is to cut the dough nice and thick (no thin, crunchy sugar cookies here!) and bake just long enough so it is doughy and NOT golden. They are just melt-in-your-mouth delicious!

I love a good sugar cookie, not the cut out kind but the kind that comes from Pepperidge Farm, not flat but the kind with oomph!
monster cookies! m&m’s, oatmeal, chocolate chips… nummy!
My favorite cookie is my family recipe for sugar cookies. They are delicious.
I think mine would be girl scout cookies (either shortbread or the caramel coconut ones – I don’t know their new names) OR the cookies from my high school cafeteria. What I wouldn’t give to have a large flat disc of of cookie with a gooey center because they were never quite cooked all the way. On Fridays they would put a block of ice cream (yes a square block, its a public school people!) and drown it with hot fudge then top with a cherry. HEAVEN I tell you – HEAV-VEN.
My favorite cookies of all time are oreos. Love’em!
