Holiday baking with Wilton Cookie Exchange *Giveaway Closed*

September 7, 2009 By Tanya 139 Comments

WiltonLogo8How many of you love to bake cookies? In the past, I never really was a ‘fan’ of cookies like sugar cookies where you make it from scratch, cut and do all the fancy icing, that is… until the last year or so. I think to get really motivated to get in to cookie baking you need the right tools and the right direction. Wilton is a great tool for both! Not only does Wilton offer great baking tools, all the materials that you need to bake, but they also have a fun and full of information book coming out next month called ‘Wilton Cookie Exchange’. Once I received this book, I was in awe and so excited to get started with some of the yummy ideas that this book has. The photographs of the cookies in the book are mouthwatering and, in fact, I ended up going to the store to get some goodies to make these cookies with and some fun cookie cutters.

Wilton Cookie Exchange
Whether you’re hosting or simply attending, Wilton Cookie Exchange will help you bring excitement and fun to the party. From creative invitations and table decorations to cookie designs unlike any others, this is the book you need to make the day merry.

The Wilton Cookie Exchange contains:

  • More than 150 easy and exciting holiday cookie decorating ideas in 6 favorite seasonal shapes—Snowflakes, Trees, Stars, Ornaments, Gingerbread Boys and Spritz.

Some of the best recipes were shared by Wilton employees in our Family Favorite Cookie Contest—they’ll become favorites with your family as well.
  • Tips on hosting your own cookie exchange – Wilton Cookie Exchange will help you coordinate every detail. Our Exchange Basics section is a blueprint for a successful event.

  • A cookie exchange can make the season brighter for everyone. Use Wilton Cookie Exchange as your guide to make it a holiday event you’ll look forward to year after year.

    My daughter is turning two soon and I have been wondering what cake to make. Now I know. The Contentedly Curled Cat Cake is the purrfect one.

    Until I read this post, I had forgotten about all the neat recipes and pan/cookie shapes available at Wilton-so I bookmarked their Home page! I LOVE baking cookies at Christmas time, but I was looking for some new and improved cookie ideas. Well I found them at Wilton! I’m going to make the “Handling a Tall Order Cookie Pops”: The Man of the Season, which I know my grand children will love; and the “Stuffed Stocking Cookies” with each person’s name on them. Oh, and the “Signing up for Duty Cookie Pop”, which uses a candy cane as it’s “stick”! I can’t wait! I’m sure the Cookie Exchange book is full of more great recipes:)

    I’d like to try either the feather friend cake for thanksgiving or the Colossal Candy Corn Cake. Both look cool!

    Thanks!
