The winners are:

Oh, and if you are wondering about the molasses cookies in the picture above, well, I cheated. Betty Crocker has a fairly new packaged mix for molasses cookies, and I recommend it. They’re soft-chewy and really good. But not as good as my sister’s MIL’s recipe, which you can find here.

    Congrats to the winners.

    Thanks for the recipes, Lindsey. We’re having a bake sale at work on Friday for the American Heart Assoc. and I think i’ll make the toffee bars.

    I just made some whoopie pies last night and they were delicious- I definitely need to make more so I’ll try out your red velvet recipe!

    Those molasses cookies look amazing as well!
