4th Annual Great Cookie Contest and Swap Brings a Real Winner

This year's Great Cookie Contest and Cookie Swap was wonderful!  Folks from all over the college brought their A-game for our judges.  This year's judges were Amy Madison, Andre George, and Dr. Bill Ingram.  Our judges approached their roles with great reverence and dedication.  They managed to gulp down samples of TWELVE different entries.  Three rose to the top:

1.  JaNel Moore's Red Velvet Cookies AND JaNel Moore's Addict 'Ems (with oatmeal, chocolate, and nuts) (TIE)
3.  Gretel Guest's Brown Sugar Chocolate Chip Walnut Bars

The other entries included the following amazing treats:

  • Mary Moore's German Chocolate cookies
  • Heidi White's Vanilla Peanut Butter Somethings
  • Christine Gunnigle's Snickerdoodles
  • Marina DelVecchio's Greek Koulourakia cookies
  • K. Leigh Forell's Oatmeal Raisin cookies
  • Kerry Cantwell's Snickerdoodles (surprisingly from the same recipe as Christine's)
  • Karin Abell's Caffeinated Cats, Canines, and More (including stars, trees, and at least one fox!)
  • Little Tina's (Bryant-Allen) Oatmeal Pies

    Karin's Caffeinated Cats, Dogs, & More

    Christine Gunnigle's Snickerdoodles

Mmmmm...Heidi's Fudge!
Also presented but not eligible for competition was Heidi White's Peanut Butter Fudge and Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge.

But where are the pictures of the WINNING COOKIES, you might ask?  Unfortunately, those cookies went so quickly that I never got a photo.  Sad trombone.
