We had a wonderful time at our Moving Feet Without Wheat awareness walk in Arlington, Texas, last Saturday. Even though we had been delayed because of raging thunderstorms in the morning, we still had a great turnout. And there was so much food.
The kids had a blast playing in the bounce house, getting their faces painted, doing potato sack races, and winning cakes on the cake walk.
Did I mention we had a ton of food?
I would like to publicly thank all of the companies that donated to us. However, I do not yet have a complete list, so I will do that later. 
Wanna see what you missed? Check out my pictures. Hopefully, you will also be able to participate in an awesome event like this.
Speaking of awesome events, are you signed up and ready for the Gluten Intolerance Group’s Annual Education Conference? I am so ready - I head to Seattle on the first of June!
Back to business.
If you looked at those pictures previously mentioned, you will see some massive baskets of food and stuff that I won. As the book sales chairman, I had donated some books to the baskets. I ended up winning 2 of the Gluten-Free Cookies by Jeanne Basye. You may have heard me mention it before – because I already have it, as does my entire family. So what should I do?
Give it to you!
So, here’s the deal. Leave a comment and tell me your favorite kind of cookie. WordPress requires you enter your email address, so as long as you do that correctly, we’re good. I (or one of my children, most likely) will randomly draw the winner this coming Friday, May 29th, at whatever time works for us (probably about 6:00 pm Central). I will post and email the winner, who can then email me their address, and then I’ll have Andy ship it (because I will be headed to Seattle, remember?). I should have put this earlier, but it didn’t occur to me: I don’t think I can handle international shipping, so please only enter if you’re in the U.S. Thanks.
My first giveaway… I’m so excited. Make this fun for me, and I’ll do some more.
Snickerdoodle, hands down! Can’t wait to meet you when you come to Seattle next month

Chocolate chip. Give me a chewy, slightly crispy chocolate chip cookie, and I’m a happy camper.

Definitely chocolate chip….classic!

I haven’t found gluten free cookies yet that I love but mercy snickerdoodles make me weak in the knees. My mother in law does make some awesome egg white cookies that are incredible.

Chocolate Chip with chopped pecans! At Christmas I love Sugar Cookies…but I only make one batch..they are tooo sinful! =) Meagan
Comment by Meagan — May 24, 2009 @ 12:05 pm |
Yummy – chocolate chip cookies made with unsweetened coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, and molasses.
Comment by Rebecca — May 24, 2009 @ 12:19 pm |
That definitely sounds interesting. Do you have a favorite recipe?
Comment by Cassandra — May 24, 2009 @ 1:57 pm |
No special recipe – just make regular cookies and cut the sugar down a bit and add some molasses. Just use the coconut and sunflower seeds like the nuts in the recipe.
I tend to leave out the white sugar, add only the brown sugar and just dump in some molasses. I don’t measure!
Comment by Rebecca — May 30, 2009 @ 11:15 pm
anything gluten free! I love meruinges and snickerdoodles and white chocolate macademia…
Comment by stephanie layfield — May 24, 2009 @ 1:48 pm |
That sounds like us – not one, but a list. I made white chocolate macadamia for the walk last week.
Comment by Cassandra — May 24, 2009 @ 1:58 pm |
Oo! Me! Pick me!
My fav? Snickerdoodle or a really good sugar cookie.
Comment by Aelfie — May 24, 2009 @ 2:11 pm |
Chocolate with peanut butter chips – found on the Reese’s bag! SOO good when the chips are melty. I also love little Mexican wedding cookies – the little ones covered in powdered sugar. YUM!
Comment by Holly — May 24, 2009 @ 2:39 pm |
Snickerdoodles are my favourite, but I am thinking of looking for a good soft pumpkin chocolate chip, because they are really yummy too. Is there a recipe for them in this book?
Comment by Diamond — May 24, 2009 @ 2:53 pm |
Yes, Diamond, there is a pumpkin chocolate chip recipe in this book. I haven’t made it, but now you’ve got me curious…
Comment by Cassandra — May 24, 2009 @ 2:56 pm |
I don’t think I’ve ever met a cookie I didn’t like, but my favorite is white chocolate macadameia nut cookies. Yum!
Comment by Christine — May 24, 2009 @ 3:37 pm |

My Grandmother’s pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are the best ever! They are my favorite.
Comment by Karin — May 24, 2009 @ 4:29 pm |
My favorite kind of cookie is the Peanut Butter cookies my father used to make. It was a special recipe that he would not share with anyone. Please include me in your giveaway.
Thanks

So many cookies, so little time. I have many top ranking cookies, but my fave is my grandma’s apple cookies. I have yet to be able to successfully make a GF, cane sugar free version though. But they are sooo good that it’s worth trying!

I love to make any cookie for my husbands lunch box
Comment by Sharon — May 25, 2009 @ 7:53 pm |
I used to love eating the big molasses cookies from Starbucks. Soooo good. I just keep waiting for somebody to come up with a decent gluten free recreation of it because I would stuff my face with them.
Comment by Rachel — May 25, 2009 @ 11:58 pm |
My favorite kind of cookie is Lorna doones! I love shortbreads with coffee.

Comment by Erin — May 26, 2009 @ 12:33 pm |
I am all about the peanut butter cookies
Comment by Jason — May 26, 2009 @ 2:28 pm |
Peanut butter/oatmeal/chocolate chip—this is one I made myself still working on making it gluten free—would love this book as am hoping to start a home business doing some allgery free cooking for people that need small treats for a guest at their parties or special events.
Comment by julie biver — May 27, 2009 @ 8:33 am |
You can’t go wrong with a chocolate chip cookie, but my favorites have always been what my mother dubbed “monster” cookies. Oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips or M&Ms.
Comment by The Gluten Free Life — May 27, 2009 @ 11:25 am |

Comment by raygon — May 27, 2009 @ 1:39 pm |
My current favorite cookie is a gluten free, vegan, sugar-free Sunflower Seed Chocolate Chunk cookie I whipped up last week! It’s tasty : ) >>> http://affairsofliving.blogspot.com/2009/05/three-bite-sunflower-cookies-gluten.html
I love cookies! And this book looks like good inspiration to bake!

I love soft Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Thanks
Comment by Sarah Z — May 27, 2009 @ 8:14 pm |
You mean we have to choose only one? Depending on my mood, I waver between flourless chocolate walnut, lemon custard bars and butterscotch shortbread. Today, I am feeling bright and sunny getting ready to go camping with the Girl scouts so, for now, lemon custard bars.
Comment by Dr. Jean Layton — May 28, 2009 @ 12:25 am |
My favorite is oatmeal cookies with raisins and pecans. Thanks!
Comment by Belinda — May 28, 2009 @ 2:59 am |
Ok, I’m weird. NOT Chocolate chip! Sugar Cookies are at the top!

Peanut Butter Cookies top my list! Followed by Oatmeal with Nuts.
Comment by Jennai — May 28, 2009 @ 3:15 am |
My favorite cookies are a tie between oatmeal chocolate chip and macaroons!
Comment by Jenn — May 28, 2009 @ 5:15 pm |
Shortbread, pecan sandies, and Oreos. *sigh* I am new to the gluten-free thing and missing cookies…I just stumbled upon your website, and I am very, very happy to have found it!
Comment by Amy — May 28, 2009 @ 6:43 pm |
I really love Nestle Tollhouse Chocolate Chip, like on the bag!
Comment by Jeanine — May 29, 2009 @ 7:44 am |
My favorite cookie is hard to pick. Top three are choc chip, pb choc chip or ginger snaps!! Yum yum
Comment by Susan Leggett — May 29, 2009 @ 2:21 pm |
Chocolate Chip cookis that aren’t cooked all the way so that they’re soft and gooey in the middle. Yep those are the best!
I have a niece that has celiac disease and am always looking for gluten/tree nut free options!
Comment by Selina — May 29, 2009 @ 2:35 pm |
Did I make it in under the wire I hope I hope??
I love a good m&m cookie – the kind that’s the size of your head! Love the multicolored goodness!!
