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.

Best of luck friends!! I’ll announce winners shortly after deadline and will send emails, make sure emails are correct 🙂
I love homemade Oreos with cream cheese frosting!
I bake cookies at least once a week (I send them with my husband to work every Monday), so having some shortcut recipes would be great for the weeks I don’t have much time. My favorite is not hard to choose–Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. I use this recipe http://reciperhapsody.wordpress.com/2009/08/19/my-favorite-cookies/ You should try it!!
I’m also a “Foodie Friend” 🙂

My favorite cookie would be white chocolate macadamia nut cookes, but I must say, I love to make (and eat!) your sugar cookie recipe. It’s a family favorite and a must have for EVERY holiday!
Peanut butter blossoms!! Basic, but I LOVE them. 🙂

All time favorite..that’s a hard one! I’d have to go with Oatmeal Scotchies!
and I am already a foodie friend of yours! 🙂
My favorite is and always shall remain… the Snickerdoodle!
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.
Soft Italian Biscotti
My favorite cookie? Maybe the good ol’ chocolate chip, but only if it is baked perfectly…or home made oreo cookies.

I will always pick a chewey oatmeal raisin over anything else, but a gingersnap will take a very close second!

I follow your blog as well, thanks for hosting this giveaway. 🙂
The favorite one I make is the no bake cookies. You know the ones with oatmeal, chocolate and peanut butter. They are so simple but I love them!
White chocolate macadamia, yum!!!
My very favorite cookie? A toss up, but I think it is currently molasses spice cookies. YUMM!
I can’t resist a fresh chocolate chip cookie hot out of the oven. Yum!
Doubletree’s chocolate chip were on my mind last night…but I also can’t turn down peanut butter cookies- yum!
I’m also a follower of Picky Palete! Thanks for the chance to win!

what a cute looking book! I’d love to win a copy of that. My fav. cookies are probably homemade sugar cookies with icing and sprinkles at Christmas time! I also like choc. chip with coconut and oatmeal!
That’s a hard one, I guess I’d have to say good old chocolate chip. Nothing beats a nice chocolate chip cookie still warm from the oven!
My favorite cookie is a Snickerdoodle, so simple, but so delicious!
My very favorite cookie is oatmeal raisin!
Oatmeal Raisin all the way!
I am a follower! :o)
