Penzey's Spices giveaway

MY LATEST VIDEOS

And to help you out a bit, I am giving away two gift cards to Penzey’s Spices. They really do sell some of the best spices out there, and they also sell things like vanilla extract and cocoa powder. I just put in a big order for myself (cocoa, vanilla, ginger, and cinnamon, among other things) and I thought perhaps some of you low carb bakers would enjoy it too! And just to be clear, I am sponsoring this giveaway myself. Because I love baking and you love baking. Baking makes the world go round!

  13. I’ve never tried Penzey’s spices, so this would be a treat! My favorite Christmas cookie is soft sugar cookie with creamy vanilla frosting! No sprinkles needed.

    Reply

  19. Cinnamon Stars. It’s an old recipe from McCall’s that has a meringue base and uses almond flour, so it’s easy to make low carb by switching out the sweetener and using coconut flour instead of regular flour.

    Reply

  20. I love Snickerdoodles! Sadly, I don’t have a low carb recipe for them. If anyone has one I would love a copy. The Penzry’s cinnamon sounds great!

    Reply

  22. Oooh boy Christmas cookies!!! My favorite is Pecan Tassies…although the italian pignoli cookies I’ve just learned to make are a good runner up! 🙂

    Reply

  28. I love Penzey’s! We have a store in Atlanta that I will visit when in the area. You should try their Bangkok Blend. My mother is Thai and I made grilled chicken skewers with it and she approved of the flavors. Thank you for this give away!!! Love your site!!!

    Reply

    • Good to know! I just purchased their lemongrass because I love Thai flavours. Next time I will pick up some of that Bangkok blend too.

  38. I miss Christmas baking the most. It used to be so easy. We make Italian cookies, nutmeg logs, cut out cookies, Russian tea cakes etc and I’ve had a very hard time replicating them low carb :(.

    Reply

  43. This is a hard question. I always love chocolate chip but I also love brownies, brown butter cookies, butterscotch bars, sugar cookies, gingerbread, oatmeal, chocolate cookies, molasses crinkles, Mexican wedding cookies…

    Reply

  50. I love gingerbread cookies. I love Penzys. Especially their chili con carne spice. We have a Penzys spice shop in town.

    Reply

  56. Old fashioned sugar cookies…the kind that are crispy around the edges and slightly soft in the center! Though, it could be the fun of decorating that eclipses even the joy of eating the cookie! Great giveaway – thank you!

    Reply

  67. My ultimate favorite is the Magic Cookie Bar recipe that has the graham cracker and butter base, chocolate chips, coconut, nuts and topped with the sweetened condensed milk. I think it would be somewhat easy to reproduce for low carb enjoyment. (maybe it already has!) Although I just bought some low carb chocolate chips to use for the chocolate chip cookie cheesecake bars on your site. I am making them today as we are celebrating Thanksgiving one day late. Our daughter and her husband are returning from their honeymoon.

    Reply

      • Wow, thank you! I just checked it out and it looks perfect! Also, I made your chocolate chip cheesecake bars this morning and just had one. Holy heck! Thank you for that recipe…deLISH.

        Perhaps someone can help me. I signed up for the giveaway and checked a box I thought was confirming my receipt of future recipes (which I had already signed up for) but instead I’m getting everyone’s favorite cookies and I bet you can guess how many email notifications I’m receiving! lol… how do I unsubscribe from that part of this site?

        Thanks!

        Reply

  68. Oh man, so many choices. It has to be a toss up between Mexican wedding cookies and Chocolate snowflakes.
    Someone mentioned Penzys has a store here in Atl. I will have to visit.

    Reply

  77. My favorite cookie is starlightmint surprise. My mother always made them at Christmas. They are hard to make now because there are no more Rockwood chocolate wafers. What a nice gift!

    Reply

  78. I love Mexican wedding cookies – I had no idea what they were called until I scrolled through the comments looking up what everyone likes!

    Reply

  79. I have a recipe called Mint Tweeties that were my late sister-in-law’s favorite. I want to mess with the recipe to make it low carb. The biggest challenge will be a brown sugar substitute. They are a shortbread type bar cookie with a mint chocolate topping. I know I could probably add a drop or two of food grade peppermint oil to melted Lily’s chocolate chips. But the crust presents challenges. Garbanzo bean flour would probably give me the right texture, but the carb count would be too high. I may try using a mix of coconut flour and bean flour. Almond flour won’t work for this because my son loves them and is allergic to tree nuts

  81. Hi! My favorite holiday cookies are soft ginger cookies. I love putting chunks of sugar free ginger chunks in them and maybe sf chocolate chips!

    Reply

  91. Your gingerbread cheesecake bite are my fav!!! Made them for the last several years for Christmas and everyone loves them, even the non-lowcarbers

    Reply

  95. This would be a way to start my first low carb holiday season. I have your holiday baking e-book and look for ward to making sone great cookies with your recipes.

    Reply

  97. Oh my hard choice, Christmas cut out cookies frosted and peanut butter or chocolate chip. Gingerbread.All depends what I am in a mood for. Really want to try your magic bar recipe. This will be my first year doing all low carb baking and am so excited. Wish me luck thanks for the chance to win on your give away. Merry Christmas

  98. Not really a cookie, but saltine toffee is to die for and I also like cookie dough bark! Both are too dangerous to have around any other time of year.

    Reply

  100. I don’t know what they are called, but my sister in love makes these fudgy crunchy cookies that are fabu! And she won’t give me the recipe…family secret! And she will only make them at Christmas….luckily that is part of her Christmas gift….a tin of cookies!!

    Reply

  103. I just love your website. I have made several of your recipes and they are all good! I like the fact that you also include nutrition information!

    Reply

  113. I love Ginger snaps, pecan sandies, pecan pie cookies, and rugelah. I have your cookie e-book and I am looking so forward to making several of the recipes for the holidays. Thanks for all your recipes. Happy Holiday Season!!

    Reply

  121. I just made your Pecan Toffee Bars for Thanksgiving and they are now my new favorite holiday cookie. Thanks so much for the recipe. I bought a copy of your Holiday Cookie eBook and look forward to finding other new favorites.

    Reply

  131. I love shortbread cookies ! I have lovely molds and pans for making imprinted shortbread cookies. There are so many variations in flavor you can do that it’s the perfect cookie base 🙂

    I love Penzey’s ! I use their spices and herbs in my cooking and baking. I highly recommend their Vietnamese Cinnamon, Mural of Flavor and Sunny Paris for anyone ! Their gift boxes rock, and are part of my holiday gift-giving every year. I use almost everything they offer, so if anyone has any ? about their products, feel free to ask.

    Thanks again, Carolyn 🙂

  132. Love Brown butter, chocolate chip cookies, only takes a little while to brown your butter first and it is so worth it!!

    Reply

  133. Snickerdoodles! I’m going to be trying some of your recipes -but I have to adapt them, as I am very lactose intolerant.

    Reply

  135. My sister makes what our mother called “Icebox Cookies”. These are brown sugar cookies with walnuts. The dough is formed into rolls and can be stored in the fridge or for a longer time in the freezer. You slice off as many as you want and bake them. I don’t know which I love more – the raw dough, which rivals chocolate chip cookie dough, or the warm soft slightly crispy at the edges freshly baked cookies. A low carb version would be terrific.

  138. Sugar cookies w/frosting. I really miss those delicious cookies.
    Thank you for making this diabetes thing a lot more tolerable.

    Reply

  139. I love all of them. Snowballs, molasses cookies, frosted cutout sugar cookies, buckeyes, butterscotch haystacks… Christmas cookie season used to be my favorite.

    Reply

  140. I picked up a copy of your Holiday Cookie cookbook and I’ve been loving it! The peppermint cheesecake bars have been a huge hit.

    Reply

  143. You can’t limit me to one cookie!! I have lists of cookies that I love. Normally not the decorative ones, but I love they way they look on a cookie plate. I love Linzer Cookies, and Peanut Butter Blossoms, and Mexican Wedding Cakes (aka Russian Tea Cakes) I adore Monster Cookies, and Shortbread (make with real butter!) And German style Soft Gingerbread Cookies (with the crispy icing) The list is endless, but you get the idea.

    Reply

  144. I love pecan snowballs and “potato chip” cookies (although I don’t think I can make those low carb) – they are family favorites!

    Reply

  146. My favorite Christmas cookie is a rich, buttery shortbread cookie! I could eat way too many of these at one sitting!

    Reply

  153. Chocolate Chip is my favorite holiday cookie. It remembers me of the time when the whole family gathers. We would bake for everyone

    Reply

  156. I love holiday baking and my daughter one bought me penzy spices and they are terrific! Thank you for a generous give away!
    Happy holidays!

  157. So many favorite cookies. But I guess my number 1 would be the peanut butter blossom. I also really enjoy the soft drop cookies with an orange glaze/frosting.

    Reply

  161. My favorite cookie was my Mom’s cut out anise cookies. They were actually addicting, but I haven’t been able to duplicate them gluten free. They were the best when you rolled them very thin and let the edges get a little brown. Some members in my family would actually tell me to stop making them because they couldn’t stop eating them. YUM

  170. Not sure as i am new to LC and GF i am trying out a few cookie recipes.Is you giveaway good for your Canadian Readers?

    Reply

  177. Gingerbread! do you have any ideas for those of us on the FODMAP diet who cannot have sugar alcohols?
    I know stevia is an option, but how would you make up the bulk of the powdered sweeteners?
    thanks for your amazing posts.

    Reply

  178. My absolute favs are my mom’s sandtarts. I think they are similar to Russian tea cakes, except formed into crescents.
    I love Penzey’s so thanks for the giveaway.

    Reply

  180. Doesn’t sound ‘Christmasy’, but until low carb I always made Rugelach with Cinnamon and Walnuts.. Sure do miss them! Would love to see your ideas on a’fix’, Carolyn. I haven’t done too well :-/

    BTW, you and Penzeys are a great combination; great idea for a giveaway!

    Reply

  181. My mom used to make Butter Dream cookies! They are made from a buttery powdered sugar blend and have a maraschino cherry half in the center. They melt in your mouth like a Russian Tea Cake does. Yum!

    Reply

  187. I love character cookies covered and filled with icing! The cookie should definitely be a sugar cookie or chocolate chip cookie.

    Reply

  198. Sugar Cookies! This will be my first Christmas to be low-carb, can’t wait to try out several of your cookie recipes!

    Reply

  202. Gingerbread or gingersnap cookies are my favorite! I love pretty much anything ginger as it is, but it seems to be the time of year that a lot of ginger treats come out.

    Reply

    • OMG, you’re not going to believe it but I just made a low carb version of these today! Hoping to have them up to share soon.

      Reply

  222. I’m not sure my favorite cookie, because I’m always eating the fudge! We have a family recipe for champagne fudge. It’s delicious and not the least bit good for me. 🙂

    Reply

  226. I received a beautiful gift of Penzey’s spices when I got married. We actually have a local retailer in town! My favorite keto Christmas cookie is peanut butter blossom (low carb of course!)

    Reply

  228. I love Penzey’s spices, their catalogue is so much fun to browse through. They always have a great free offer and their Vanilla is to die for.

    Reply

  230. I love the molasses cookies that one of my co-workers makes at Christmas. I bakes hundreds of cookies of many kinds, but those molasses cookies are the best! I love Penzey’s Spices, and have been very uplifted by their recent Facebook and email messages. Thanks for the giveaway 🙂

  234. Favorite holiday cookie?!? Hmmm… anything with chocolate BUT it also must be decorated either beautifully or cute!
