Got Cookies??

Hello.  Today is all about cookies.  *waiting while the applause dies down*

First off...I was contacted by the sweet Joanna of BakedByJoanna to participate in the Mix It Up Cookie Challenge that she is having on her BLOG! 

I've donated a one of my cute little birdy potholders and then there is also a really, really cute frilly apron involved....!!!  Stop by and join in on the fun!  Stop by her blog post for complete details.

Now, I know you guys are already jealous of the really great prizes I've been winning lately (it's ok) --and now I get to rub another one in your face! LOL I mean "share the good news with you"! I didn't exactly win COOKIES from NotYourMamasMix---but she does have COOKIES in her shop, so I'm gonna let it slide! What I did win was some really yummy and fun Mug Cake Mixes! You mix them up in a coffee mug and pop them into the microwave--how dangerous is that?? Cake at a moments notice. *shiver*

She has such yummy concoctions as Gooey Chocolate Toffee (which I tried first....lets just say that I've never licked a coffee mug before...) and Double Chocolate Chocolate Chip (you can never have enough chocolate)! She also has cookies mixes and scone mixes and  cocoa mixes too!


NEXT, I was gonna share a link for some free Oreos (or whatever Nabisco cookie you happen to love), but I just double checked the link and the coupons are already gone for this month!  I'm gonna give you the link anyways because they give away coupons every month, all you have to do is LIKE their Facebook page and remember to check in for free coupons on the dates they tell you to!

And last, but not least...how about a recipe for some delish Snickerdoodles!
