4 WEEKS of GIVEAWAYS
week #3 [CLOSED]
In the continuing celebration of Budget Bytes reaching 10,000 RSS subscribers, I bring you Week #3 of the 4 Weeks of Giveaways!
So, you know I'm obsessed with pizza, right? Well, I am. Pizza is like a blank canvas to which you can apply any flavor, color, or texture. It's pure magic.
But to get a really great pizza, you need a stone pizza oven... or a PIZZA STONE!
So, I'm giving one away. Actually, not just a pizza stone, but also a pizza cutter and pizza peel (the wooden paddle that is used to transfer your raw pizza onto the hot stone). I hope there are many, many delicious pizzas in your future!
This week's contest entry question is:
Since I don't make cookies very often, I decided to turn this giveaway into a Christmas cookie exchange. You can either just name your favorite Christmas cookie or share it with everyone by leaving a link or URL to the recipe. I can't wait to hear your favorites!

Snowball cookies! (aka Italian wedding cookies)
- Mix 1 cup butter with 1/2 cup confectioners sugar, add 1 tsp almond extract
- Add in 2 cups flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
Bake at 350 until bottoms are golden brown (~10 min)
Immediately after removing from oven, place in bowl of confectioners sugar to coat, then let cool.
After cool, repeat the coating step.

Every year, I make Peppermint XXXmas (that's right, triple-x) cookies for my dad, who is a huge peppermint fan, and they are damn tasty.
This started out as a mere chocolate cookie recipe, but has transformed into oh so much more. I add a tablespoon of peppermint oil to the dough, a few drops of peppermint extract, and then 2 tablespoons of coco powder. Then, in goes both semi-sweet and white chips, as well as some crushed starlight mints.
They are super-Minty, Wonderfully chocolatey, and absolutely SCREAM Christmas!

Almond paste cookies are pretty good. Most people call them amaretti, and they're really easy to make.

It's a tie between the ultra-unhealthy sugar cut out cookies, or the slightly less unhealthy ricotta cheese drop cookies, both with icing and sprinkles! And making them with family and friends somehow makes them taste even better.

I make chewy gingerbread cookies every year. The recipe is tweaked a little from the Cook's Illustrated Nov 1999 issue, mainly to use 2 tbsp vinegar instead of milk for a vegan option.

Every year, my mom makes these cream cheese cookies that we have to use a cookie press for and we would decorate them with colored sugar! We have all kinds of plates for the cookie press, but my faves are the looooooong ribbon cookies. My dad & I always used to let the ribbon cookies bake a leeetle too long so that they got nice & golden brown.

Swedish Sugar Cookies! A family recipe handed down on my husband's side. They're just like regular sugar cookies, but with a fluffier bread-like texture. They're not as dense and sugary, making them perfect for that sweet frosting we slather all over them! Yum!

Every year we make a molasses spice cookie from an old issue of Canadian Living magazine that we got when we actually lived in Canada (20odd years ago). The key is to double the spices and then roll them in sugar. even my husbands grandfather loves them (and he is the pickiest person ever)
