October's Apron Give-Away & Treats for the Grands

First, I apologize for not planning this better.  I'm flying out tomorrow to be with my grandson and hindsight, I should have drawn the name a few days ago so I could have mailed it before I leave.  Anyway, without further ado...the winner of this month's apron is Knatolee!  Please email me an address where I can send your gift with love...hopefully before I leave, but if not, I'm only gone a week:-)

Today, I've been doing some last minute baking to send a box of goodies to Maddie (hoping they arrive without too much delay due to the hurricane.  Simple recipes; one from KAF for Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies and my favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies with Mini Reece's Pieces.

I just received a shipment from King Arthur Flour with some new products.  One was Swedish Pearl Sugar, so when I saw this recipe on their website, I thought it would be perfect to bake.
Mix up the easy dough and roll tops in the Pearl Sugar
Once baked they reminded me of Crackle Cookies! 
I found these cute boxes at the packaging store, added some stamped leaves and boxed up 4 cookies!
Mini Reece's Pieces--perfect colors for Fall and Halloween!
Big Cookies!
I could get 2 in each box with this size cookie 
Now, to the post office to get these mailed, then, I need to pack and get things organized.
Sending loving thoughts and prayers to all those in the path of the storm, XOXO

  5. Hi Susan....All's well so far. Lots of rain and wind but we still have power. We are safe and sound, hunkering down.

    Thanks for your concern.

    Thanks for your visit and comment, too! Have a good visit. Susan

  6. I am so excited! Saw that pic and thought, "I love that apron!" Then I saw I'd won it. Thanks so much! I will put it to good use. What a wonderful prize.

    We are getting high winds from Hurricane Sandy tonight. Hopefully the power won't go out. You can tell what a huge storm it is; it's already blowing on eastern Ontario, while it's just made landfall down in NY, NJ, MD and DC.

    Have a great trip! The cookies look amazing.

    1. They added such a nice touch and a 12oz jar was only $6.95. It took only 5 tablespoons to roll the cookies in:-D
