Have you done your holiday cookie baking yet? No? Me neither. I haven’t been too inspired, until I was filtering through my way through the Irreference.com website and saw that they had the recipe for Whoopie Pies listed from their Field Guide to Cookies. Whoopie Pies! If you don’t know what I am talking about, you need to go find this recipe right now and make them. You’ll thank me. Repeatedly.
Anyway, so with Whoopie Pie recipe in hand, I am now hot on the trail of getting some baking done in the next few days. But…. if you aren’t inspired yet, this might help:
The lovely, lovely people (did I mention that I really like them?) at Quirk Books* is letting me give a copy of The Field Guide to Cookies to one lucky winner!
If you can’t find inspiration to bake in this little number, well, you probably just don’t like cookies, lol!
Here’s what you need to do to enter:
PLEASE NOTE:

* I did NOT receive anything for these comments, nor have I received this book. I have received items from Quirk Books in the past, but this blog post is not influenced by “swag”. It is influenced by the lure of Whoopie Pies.

I found a recipe for lemon bars I'd like to try. My best friend in high school made the best lemon bars ever and I've never quite been able to replicate her success with them!
aholtz@gmail.comOk, wish I hadn't done this. found a recipe for English Toffee…only my favorite thing EVER!!! I really don't need to know how to make it…but maybe a great x-mas idea.http://irreference.com/english-toffee-from-the-field-guide-to-candy/But my hubbie loves cookies so I have to go full force on this giveaway.
I love the peanutbutter and company cookbook.But I love,love,love, the cookie cookbook.
There is an excellent article on how to use leftover wine in the kitchen and then there was the Kitchen Garden Box that I seemed to love as well.

Hello, lemon bars! I love lemon bars and they even put in some great tips to change them up and their history. cookies are really my favorite thing to bake. Thanks for the giveaway.
I have to say that I ike the English Toffee recipe. We have a recipe from my maternal Grandfathers side of the family that I have made and can remember eating as a child, it's a dark toffee though almost like obsidian chunks when done and it has a dark smooth smoky flavour. It's one of those recipes that I'll be adding to the altered recipe book my Ma-in-law made for me a few years back but I also adore the light buttery flavour of English toffee too.
