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.

Welcome to my online kitchen! Picky Palate is where you’ll find family friendly recipes along with the best Disney eats, tips and copycat recipes! 
Chocolate chip!!!
Now, this is a very cool book! If i don’t win, i’d still buy it. Sometimes a shortcut is just what i need. My all time fave cookie no matter what, is good old fashion sugar cookies.
My favorite all time cookie is a cookie called “Christmas Rocks”. It makes a hug amount of dough and has tons of all kinds of nuts. I have to mix them in a roaster. I only make them at Christmas time, because I’d eat them All!!
“Neiman Marcus Cookies”. The recipe was in an email that was being circulated when I was a kid because the woman (who started the email chain) bought the recipe from the Neiman Marcus cafe because the waitress told her that it was only “two fifty”. When she got her credit card bill she discovered that it was not $2.50 as she had assumed, but $250. Anyway, the cookies are delicious.
Oatmeal Raisin is a winner in my book!
How do you pick a favorite? I would have to say red, white and blue cookies (dried blueberries, craisins and white chocolate) or ginger spice cookies
Definitely chocolate chip cookies, but I like sugar cookies too!
I have been a follower for a long time!
I need this cookbook like a need a hole in my head but who can resist such a gorgeous book full of such obviously delicious creations!? not me!!
My favorite cookie? that is an impossible question to answer. but the last cookie i made was definitely up there and it was a choc chip/coconut/walnut cookie made from graham cracker crumbs! to DIE for!
Such a hard choice! I love the classic chocolate chip and I also love white chocolate macadamia nut.
My fav has to be the old stand by Snickerdoodle… yum.
my favorite cookie is a chocolate cookie with dark chocolate, white chocolate, and caramel chips in it. Yum!!!
Favorite cookie of all time is chocolate chip–but I make them with an added packet of vanilla pudding mix (the powder). Makes them so much softer, and they stay that way longer. You follow the instructions on the Nestle Tollhouse bag, but add a 4-serving packet of Jello Instant Pudding Mix to the dry mix. YUM!
My new favorite recipe is Andes Candies Cookies, very yummy, very addicting!
There is a local cookie shop that makes the absolutely best cookies. It’s a hard choice, but I have to say that the Andes Mint Double Chocolate cookie probably gets my vote for the best cookie I’ve ever had.
Jenny, my all time favorite cookie hands down is chocolate chip! I could eat them every day of course.
Thanks for the Opportunity for a giveaway. Oatmeal Raisin cookies are my favorite.
My favorite cookie of all time is a nice soft Snickerdoodle. I have a hard time making them so they stay soft, though. 🙁
My favorite cookie of all time is known to me as “the chocolate crackle”!!!
I follow!!
Oh…my favorite cookie. Has to be a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie with peanut butter chocolate chips! What a fun cookbook!
Hmmm…well, is it bad that one of my fave cookies is the Girl Scouts Thin Mints? *LOL* But, otherwise, I’d have to say a really good buttery sugar cookie…no frosting, but I do love it with large sugar crystals on it. Oh, yummmm….
My favorite cookies are peanut blossoms. I love regular peanut butter cookies but the addition of that chocolate kiss is soooo delicious!
Oh, that’s a tough one. I have to go with Peanut Butter, no nuts! 🙂
I tweeted the contest! http://twitter.com/joybells07
Favorite cookie? That’s a tough one… but I’m tempted to go with pumpkin cookies with lemon icing. Mmmm….

Oh, this is a hard one, like picking a favorite child. But, I’d have to say my favorite cookie is pumpkin chocolate chip. They are big, soft, and soooo yummy!
And I must say peanut butter cookies with peanut butter filling are my favorites! 😀 Nothing beats a good peanut butter cookie! Mmmm!
My favorite are ROLO COOKIES! Ah, they’re to die for! It’s pretty much a chocolate chip cookie with a rolo in the middle! YUM!!
LoL, I guess it is a good thing I became a friend the other day. I absolutely LOVE your blog and recipes!!! I have a list that I want to try out! Looking forward for what is to come! 😀
I really have to pick a favorite? It just depends on the mood I’m in but if I had to pick a favorite it would probalbly be a standard sugar cookie with store bought cream cheese frosting.
