mountain of cookies

It's turkey lurkey cookie time!


As I am sure we are all aware, The Cookie Competition took place today in Beaver Creek, CO, where I am not exactly roughing it for Thanksgiving. And, as I am not a skier or very fond of the cold, it is only for such an event that I would brave the extreme chill and leave my seat by the fire. The cookies, they must be tasted!

The finalists, clockwise from top-left were; Black Diamond Chocolate Chip Cookie, Powder Day Delight, Caramel Explosion, Crazy Kota's Killer Chocolate Chip Cookie, and The Founder's Favorite.

Caramel Explosion got my vote but The Founder's Favorite was a close second. Thanks to the Vail Daily, the recipes (written to bake in altitude) for my picks follow.

all in flavor

Once upon quite some time ago, I took a trip to Ruby et Violette and bought a few cookies.


I was enchanted by the selection of flavors and can only recall that Carrot Cake and Lemon White Chocolate were most excellent.


Soon enough, I plan to venture back and try many more.


And I'll live happily ever after.
