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.

Favorite cookie is this amazing oatmeal cream pie one I’ve been using for years. Accck. Just thinking of it makes me droll. And trust me, on a mid-50 year old frumpy woman it’s just not as cute as baby. Sigh. But they are THAT good! Thanks for the cool giveaway, Jenny.
My favorite cookie of all time is my mom’s chocolate chip cookies. mmmm
Chocolate chip!!!!
I’m a foodie friend =)
Classic chocolate chip are the best! Thanks!
Warm chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven!
I’m a follower of your blog.
My favorite cookie is an old fashioned date-nut cookie. They are amazing. I only make them during the holidays, but they are worth waiting for every year!
My favorite cookie is really a bar. It is a 7 layer bar with butter,graham crackers, sweetened condensed milk, walnuts, chocolate chips, and coconut. The 7th layer is supposed to be butterschotch chips but my Mom always left that out so I do too. You just layer everything on top of each other and bake it. I love it. I could eat the entire pan.
Here is my blog post!

My favorite cookie? Maybe the good ol’ chocolate chip, but only if it is baked perfectly…or home made oreo cookies.
Soft Italian Biscotti
I like a cookie from the B&B in Calistoga California called The Foothill house. It is really good. It is a bit of chocolate chip cookie with powder.
My favorite is and always shall remain… the Snickerdoodle!
