Holiday Giveaways Day 2: Cookies and Pies and Tarts, Oh My! – CLOSED

Update: The winner is commenter #124 – Rachel! Her comment about being a Facebook fan was the winner.

Congrats Rachel! You should have an email from me, please reply with your mailing address so I can get your prize off to you.

It’s the second day of giveaways this week, and today I’m sharing two cookbooks that are in heavy rotation in my kitchen, especially during the holidays: Martha Stewart’s Cookies and Martha Stewart’s Pies and Tarts.

I’ve had my copy of Cookies for a few years, and it’s always the first place I look when I want to try a new cookie recipe. From pumpkin cookies with brown butter icing to rocky ledge bars, the book is big on variety – you’re pretty much guaranteed to find something you like!  Even better?  The recipes work!  I’ve tried at least a dozen and haven’t had a flop yet. 

Pies and Tarts is a newer addition to my collection, but I am just as in love with it.  Its pages are filled with an enormous variety of sweet and savory pies and tarts, and there’s a gorgeous color photo to accompany each and every recipe.  There’s also a section on basics that’ll walk you through making pie crust, a lattice top, decorative edges on your pies, and so much more.  I’ve only blogged one recipe from the book, but it’s a show-stopper: frozen chocolate-peanut butter pie!

You’ll love having these books on your shelves and today I’m giving you a chance to win both of them!

Details

The giveaway winner will receive one copy of Martha Stewart’s Cookies AND one copy of Martha Stewart’s Pies and Tarts.
