2. Discover a new cookie recipe on each site.

3. Collect the name of the cookies from each listed author, and e-mail the total list to Heather@HeatherMcCollum.com when it is complete. Make sure to put Historical Romance Authors Are Sweet in the subject line. The list must be turned in by 11:59 PM ET on December 12th.

4. One grand prize winner, of a $150 gift card, will be selected randomly from those who collected and turned in the name of all the treats by the deadline. The winner must respond within 24 hours to claim prize, and we will announce the winner hopefully by noon ET on December 14th. Individual winners will be selected randomly, and the prize-giving author will contact their individual winner.

And here is my cookie – a family favorite! SNICKERDOODLES!

Mix together: 

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoon cream of tartar

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

Set aside while you cream together:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 ½ cups sugar

Add in:

2 eggs – one at a time, blending between each.

Then blend in:

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Then add your dry ingredients to the wet and mix well. Then, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to scoop out some dough, roll into a ball, and then roll into a cinnamon sugar mixture (⅓ cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cinnamon) until well coated.

Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake in a pre-heated 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes. I usually let them sit on the cookie sheet for a few minutes and then move them to a rack to cool.

Enjoy!

Be sure to hop to all the authors and collect the name of each cookie! Here is the list again if you need it.
