I enter a giveaway almost every day . . I think they're such a great way to give back to the blogging community that gives so much in terms of inspiration.
Which is why I'm taking part in Sew Mama Sew's Giveaway Day on December 2.
I have this book on my wish list this year . . I borrowed it from the library a few weeks ago and fell in love! I didn't have a chance to try out any of the projects but I think it belongs on every quilter's bookshelf.
If you win this giveaway, I will order it directly from a bookstore and have it delivered to you. I will also mail a little package of handmade fun. This will include an ornament for sure, but the rest depends on where the winner is from since postage rates can vary and it would be nice if the package could arrive before Christmas.
All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this post telling me what your favourite Christmas cookie is . . and a link to a recipe gives you two entries. I need to get started on holiday baking!
Want a third entry? Become a follower of our blog and leave a comment telling me you've done so. (If you're already a follower you get a bonus entry but be sure and let me know.)
The deadline to enter is December 6th. Please include your email with your entry so I can contact you if you win!
Good luck!
- Donna

Neat book. My fave holiday cookie is snickerdoodles. I been making them since I was little helping Grandma we always used the recipe form a old Betty Crocker cookie book.
For christmas I love the good old traditional sugar cookie decorated with way to much icing thanks to the kiddos. That book looks great. I have to see if my library has it in case I don't win.
wowowowowowowwwww!
my favorite christmas cookie (is there any other?) is the rolled, cut and decorated sugar cookie. mmm!
I have two favorite cookies - wreath cookies and chocolate crinkles. Both were made by my great-grandmother during the holidays. She hasn't been able to make them for the last several years, so i have been busy in the kitchen making them for the family.
Thank you for the opportunity.

Okay here are the recipes:
Wreath Cookies: http://www.christmas-cookies.com/recipes/recipe21.cornflake-wreath-cookies.html
Chocolate Crinkles:
http://www.joyofbaking.com/ChocolateCrinkles.html
I would so love that book! My favorite cookie is homemade oreos. The "recipe" is to mix together two boxes chocolate cake mix, 2 eggs, 2 sticks of butter. Form into balls and smash down a little. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes (depending on how hot your oven is). When cooled make oreo sandwiches with store bought or homemade icing. Delish! leahclaireh(at)gmail.com

My favorite Christmas cookie is simple, just sugar cookies decorated with frosting! We made them every year when I was growing up.
I'm becoming a follower and adding you to my Google Reader right now!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I'm such a sucker for craft books, and I haven't seen this one. If I don't win I'll have to see if the library system I work for carries it.
The chocolate cookies in the Cook for Good (cookforgood.com) spring cookbook are some of my favorites, and while they're not specifically for chritmas I plan I'm making them this year for the holiday.
my anytime fave cookie is chocolate chips!
M & M cookies! Yum! Thanks for entering me in your Giveaway Day!

I don't know the official name of these cookies and so I can't find a recipe for them. If they sound good, I can get it from my mom for you! They are balls of peanut butter mixed with 10x sugar inside a chocolate cookie. They are formed into balls and baked! Mmm:)

I absolutely adore Denyse Schmidt and do not own this book, so I *need* it! One of my favourite shortbread recipes can be found in this little downloadable e-book: http://www.gaylea.com/recipes/action/books/book_id/3 (it's the one that uses Skor bits along with both butterscotch and chocolate chips).
Ooh! That's a great book for your Christmas wish list! Thanks for the chance to win!
Oh, it's a toss-up between shortbread and gingerbread cookies! I love them both So. Much. :)
Thanks for the chance to win, and happy holidays!
My aunt makes a couple of amazing cookies - a potato chip cookie, homemade peanut butter cups inside a cookie, and then I love Mexican wedding cakes/Russian tea cakes. Mmmmm cookies.
What a very generous giveaway! My favorite Christmas cookies are the Danish cookies that my French-Canadian great grandmother (now 101) learned from her Danish husband's mother. I'm not allowed to pass on the recipe :P
Ohh this giveaway is so fun!

My favorite holiday "cookie" is rum balls made by my fiance. I don't have his exact recipe, but I think they're similar to these from Emeril on Food Network, except he uses graham crackers, not Nilla wafers.

Hubby makes the best. :)
What a generous giveaway!
My favorite cookies are my grandmother's iced sugar cookies, but they haven't made it to my blog yet, so I cannot send you a link. A shame, because they are The Best Cookie Ever in the History of Cookies. Seriously. I know all the other bazillion commenters think their cookies are the best, but that's cause they haven't had these yet.
Happy holidays & happy crafting!
Now I'm a follower...
I love pistachio cranberry cookies.
The recipe (and tons of other cookies, too!) is here: http://www.gourmet.com/recipes/2000s/2006/12/pistachio-cranberry-icebox-cookies
Candy cane cookies have always been my favorite. I made them with my parents growing up and now I make them with my hubby! We always used the tried-and-true Betty Crocker recipe here: http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes.aspx/candy-cane-cookies/93832e29-3b4f-4977-ae5a-9820053b254c

How awesome! I never have my library books long enough, though. I keep renewing them until I hit the max. How generous of you to offer the quilt book as a giveaway!
My favorite Christmas cookie is called Marcy Bars. It's made with peanut butter and graham crackers, with a layer of chocolate on top. I also got some really delicious treats from my neighbor. She said she made them with Oreo cookies. Mmmmmm.
Hands down, my fave Christmas cookie is shortbreads made with my cookie press. Mmmmm! No link because my recipe is a secret ;-) Great giveaway, thanks for the chance to win!

I'd love to add that book to my nightstand reading pile. Well, if you've ever tasted anything I've baked you wouldn't be asking for the recipe. Baking isn't my strong point. I will however, add your blog to my favorites list and visit it often. Your work is lovely.
I like biscochitos! :)

They are Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
http://cookiejarred.blogspot.com/2008/11/thick-and-chewy-chocolate-chip-cookies.html
A great giveaway! I'm not sure these are technically cookies, but I count them as such: I love these thin mints, which are really just mint chocolate-dipped ritz crackers. :)
And here's the recipe for my second entry: http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/recipes/mint-thins-107762.aspx. Thanks for posting!
