Welcome to Brown Eyed Baker’s very first giveaway!
A few weeks ago I was the lucky winner in Liliana’s giveaway of Field Guide to Cookies
by Anita Chu of Dessert First, which was held over at My Cookbook Addiction.
How lucky was I! This is such a fantastic little book packed full of wonderful recipes. Pretty much any cookie you can think of is in there – everything from Amaretti, Black and White Cookies, and Macaroons to Baklava, Granola Bars, Gingersnaps, Rugelach, and much more for a total of 100 cookie recipes. I was most impressed by how many ethnic-inspired cookie recipes are included and can’t wait to give it a big workout come the holidays.
Due to some shipping issues that Liliana ran into, she ended up sending me two copies of the book and although both of them arrived to me safely she insisted that I keep both (what a sweet person!). Now I don’t want to be greedy and since it is such an amazing book, I want to share a copy with one of my lucky readers!
How To Enter: It’s easy! Just leave a comment telling me what your all-time favorite cookie is.
Bonus: If you share a link to this giveaway on your blog, through Facebook or Twitter, post another comment with a link to your shout out for a total of two possible chances to win.
Deadline to Enter: 11pm EST Saturday, June 6th
A winner will be selected by the random number generator on Sunday, June 7th and the book will be shipped to the winner on Monday.
**Please be sure to leave a valid email address when leaving a comment (no one will see it but me) so that I am able to notify you if you win!

I love chewy chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven!
Ooh I’ve been coveting this book since it came out! My favorite cookie recipe is my monster cookies: oatmeal chocolate chip m&m peanut butter. Sounds like flavor overload, but it’s perfect! Thanks for the giveaway
How neat that you are giving away the extra book.
My favorite cookie is No Bake Cookies. Yes, the very simple No Bake Cookies. Who doesn’t love the chocolate and peanut butter with oatmeal when warm. Oh good cold too.
Susie
Russian tea cookies. Hands down.
I love a good ol’ classic chocolate chip cookie!
My favorite cookie of all time is a chocolate chip-peanut butter cookie!
What a great idea for the extra book!

This looks like a really neat cookbook. My all-time favorite cookie has to be chocolate chocolate chip!
I think that good ol’ peanut butter cookies are my all time favorite…until Christmas time comes along, then I like to get my fill of the iced sugar cookies too.
I love your blog! I think my favorite cookies are pizelles. They are not my favorite in terms of taste, but for the memories of making them every Christmas with my mom. Now I get to do it with my kids!
I have so many favorites but I think if I had to pick any cookie to eat today it would be a No Bake cookie. My Grandma (who was very much not the baker) used to make them for me all the time! Think I might have to whip up a batch tonight!
What a great giveaway!
I’d say my favorite cookie is plain old chocolate chip.
But I also heart black and white cookies, peanut butter cookies, and anything with icing.
Hm. I love cookies!
Peanut Butter Cookies…YUM!
I love anything with double the chocolate chips–especially oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, which I just made last night!
I just love fresh from the oven chocolate chip– or ricotta cookies… can’t chose which is my fav
I also left comment on blog! Here is the link http://pfeifferskitchen.blogspot.com/2009/06/pssssssti-know-secret.html

Oooh, this sounds like a great book! My most favorite cookies in the world are the Butter Balls that my mom makes every Christmas. I only let myself have them around the holidays because otherwise I would happily chow down a dozen a day!
This is so hard…I think I have to go with chocolate chip, but I’m pretty much an equal opportunity cookie eater!
This looks like such a fun book! I like double chocolate chunk cookies- the more chocolate, the better!
My favorite cookies are Berger cookies. You can find them in Baltimore since they’re a local favorite.
Peanut Butter Cookies all the way.
my mom makes these cookies called “mud dobbers”. they’re the epitome of a chocolate rush!
My favorite is old fashion chewy chocolate chip cookies.
Any cookie that is packed with chocolate is a winner in my book!
These thin ginger cookies that my grandmother used to make, squished with a sugar coated glass. She would feed them to us when we arrived at her house late at night after driving all day.
Oh please enter me! My favorite cookie is a recipe I got when I first got married—it is a chocolate cookie with Andes mints melted on top-so chewy and delish. Yum now I want to bake some:)

I would have to say my favorite cookie is a rasin oatmeal cookie. Yummy!
I hate to repeat, but Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies are amazing!
I am a lover of the traditional chocolate chip cookie, but I love to explore a new cookie in between batches. This book looks really good!
My mother in law’s almond cookies rock my world. Though, I would never tell my mother this – to her it’s her pb cookies with the hershey kiss on top!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I love cookies! I can’t pick a favorite.
My favorite is White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cranberry Cookies! My second favorite is Iced Sugar Cookies (I can’t wait to try your recipe from the weekend!). Would love a copy of that cookbook, my sisters and mother bake together at Christmas & are always looking for new ideas!

When I get those from the store (they’re very expensive in the US!) , they normally disappear within hours
My favorite is Martha Stewart’s chocolate malt sandwich cookies. If I could only have one cookie for the rest of my life, this would be it.
Hi! My all-time favorite cookie has got to be the “monster cookie.” Full of peanut butter, oatmeal, chocolate chips, chocolate coated candies and just about everything else under the sun, they are chew, gooey and delicious. Plus, they are usually 2x the size of regular cookies! YUMMY!
Love chewy chocolate chip cookies…YUMMY
I love a good milk chocolate and white chocolate chunk cookie.
Oh man. It’s a tie between peanut butter chocolate chip and Oreos!
Love your blog by the way!
They are all my favorite, there’s no such thing as a bad cookie!
I love cookies. Period! Coconut macaroons, chocolate chip, snickerdoodles, you name it. But to choose a favorite I would have to go with Pfefferneuse. We use a completely bastardized version that has been handed down in my family and is unrecognisable as it’s namesake. We make these once a year, at Christmas. It is a two day event and easier with a crowd. For Christmas of 2007, I made them with my mom and grandma and it turned out to be one of the last days I spent with my grandma before she went off the Alzheimers’ cliff, and therefore one of the last truly lucid times I spent with her. The cookies are fabulous, the smell of the scotch they are dripped with smells like Christmas to me. I cant wait to pass this tradition down to my own someday kids!
Chocolate Chip cookies that aren’t too chewy or too crunchy. That’s not too much to ask right?
I tweeted!

Soft Oatmeal Raisin is my favorite!!! Followed by Russian Orange cookies… YUMMM

Although it is not so original it is my favorite by far, the infamous – Chocolate Chip Cookie!
all time fave is chocolate crinkles. i’ve tried one recipe from that cookbook (amish chocolate chip cookies and they were fabulous)!
Sugar cookie with a hint of almond extract if made correctly
But my one true love is the choc. chip cookie!
My grandma’s chocolate chip cookies. i’ve never tasted anything like them. soft, thin so the choc. chips seemed huge, and big. they were perfect.
I shouted out (is that grammatically correct?) on my blog about your give away. Thanks so much for offering this!
My favorite cookie is Peanut Butter Cookies. Please include me in your giveaway.
Thanks

I like double chocolate with espresso powder..
There is nothing better than the perfect warm chocolate chip cookie with milk!
I’ve actually never met a cookie that I didn’t like, but my favorite has to be still-warm chocolate chip cookies. Heavenly!
My all time favorite is the “Nieman Marcus” recipe that floats around the internet. Wherever it came from, that is the BEST cookie I have ever had. The dough is pretty good, too!
My mom makes cookies called cinnamon jumbles that are somewhat like a snicker doodle but with a cake texture. Pure bliss!
Oh wow that’s an awesome book…….nice choice for giveaway…
This is very nice! Even though I missed the deadline… it’s a great thing to do… and cheers for that!!!
I know this competition has finished but I just had to say your all wrong. The best cookie in the world ever are underbaked, crispy on the outside, almost doughy on the inside, gorgeously decadent white chocolate chunk and freeze dried raspberry cookies.
They are a cookie to live or die for and blow plain old chocolate chip out of the water!
