Attention: Big Contest!

When J. Gumbo’s Delaware County reached out about doing another collaboration, I was ALL about it and so flattered theyโ€™d asked! โ˜บ๏ธ When they told me what they had in mind and that it was part of their 10 year anniversary celebration, I knew it was something bigger than Iโ€™d ever done. ๐Ÿ’ซ I fretted for a hot second ๐Ÿ˜…, because thatโ€™s what I do ๐Ÿ˜†, but I excitedly agreed and here we are! ๐Ÿฅณ Starting this Monday, April 11th, youโ€™re going to want to visit J. Gumbo’s Delaware County for lunch at LEAST 3X per week. ๐Ÿ˜

Starting Monday and running thru Wednesday, April 27th, thereโ€™ll be a delicious contest running. ๐Ÿ˜‹ During the next 3 weeks, when you visit J. Gumbo’s Delaware County for lunch Monday – Wednesday, youโ€™ll be able to buy my homemade cookies to go with your yummy lunch. ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿช Share a picture of you with one of my cookies, tagging us on Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, and/or posting it directly to our Facebook pages.* ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Each share gives you an entry to win a free lunch at J. Gumbo’s Delaware County on that Thursday. ๐ŸŽŸ Non-winning entries will be rolled over to the next week, so you can get multiple chances to win one of 3 Thursday lunches. ๐Ÿ™Œ But waitโ•โ• Thereโ€™s moreโ•โ•๐Ÿค—


At the end of April, ALL entries will be put back into the pot and one person will win an ENTIRE YEAR of cookies from me! WHATโ‰๏ธโ‰๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿคฏ YESโ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿฅฐ The winner will have a choice between becoming a member of my Cookie of the Month Club or my Farmhouse Chocolate Chip Cookie Club = one dozen freshly baked, homemade cookies each month for a year! ๐Ÿ˜

introducing bake sale carrot cake!

As some of you know, most of the cookie recipes I create are inspired by my favorite foods and drinks. ๐Ÿฅฐ A few weeks ago, my husband and I were discussing cakes we loved and he mentioned the scrumptious, homemade, carrot cake one of my good friends makes. ๐Ÿฅ•๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿ˜‹ Long story short, I was instantly inspired! ๐Ÿคฉ Introducing my latest cookie creation: Bake Sale Carrot Cake ๐Ÿฅ•๐Ÿงก! This new cookie is actually 2 flavors in one. ๐Ÿ˜Š Made with real cream cheese powder, organic eggs ๐Ÿฅš, cane sugar, and lots of real butter ๐Ÿงˆ, the top layer is the โ€œicing.โ€ Under the cream cheese โ€œicingโ€ is the โ€œcake,โ€ made with organic rainbow carrots ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿฅ•, raw walnuts, unsalted butter ๐Ÿงˆ, brown cane sugar, organic eggs ๐Ÿฅš, cinnamon, pure vanilla extract, and a dash of sea salt. ๐Ÿง‚ Iโ€™m so grateful I was able to finalize my recipes for these crispy-chewy cookies in time for the Spring holidays. ๐ŸŒธ Theyโ€™d make a tasty surprise from the Easter Bunny ๐Ÿ‡, be a yummy addition to any family gathering ๐Ÿฃ, could easily be the dessert for your holiday meals, and/or make a delicious night-before-meal-prep treat. ๐ŸŒผ Get on my Spring baking schedule now! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I canโ€™t wait to bake these cookies for you. ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฅ•๐Ÿช
