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.

My favorite doesn’t have a name – a lady that used to work for my dad used to make these amazing buttery sandwich cookies! It’s been 15 years since I last had one and I still can remember them. But second favorite is the classic chocolate chip cookies!
I’d have to say that big, soft chocolate chip cookies are my all-time favorite.
P.S. I am already a follower:)!
My favorite is gingerbread or ginger molasses. I say both only because I’ve yet to try recipes that make them different from each other. I love the molasses taste.
Definitely has to be the chocolate chip with mint chips! I found a recipe this winter and couldn’t stop eating them!
I must be kind of boring, but you can never go wrong with a soft and chewy chocolate chip cookie.
Ours is a family favorite we call them Stella cookies- they are like cowboy cookies

My favorite cookie is one I’ve never quite been able to re-create. My mom and I used to get them at a little shop in our local mall – they were huge chocolate cookies with a marshmallow layer and then chocolate frosting.
I love the good old classic chocolate chip.
As plain and simple and boring as it sounds, I will always go for a chocolate chip cookie.
