Advent Day 22, 2019: Great Canadian Holiday Cookie Bake Off

The United Bakers on Spadina in Toronto.

Last year we had a few rounds of Holiday Cookie Wars, wherein we tested our favourite recipes up against other recipes we wanted to try.

Today, we’re going to do a Holiday Cookie Bake Off in [up to] three rounds, similar to the Great “National” Bake Off Shows that air here in Canada and Britain.

FIRST: The kids will make their favourite cookie from our family recipes or wherever they’d like. And the parents will taste test.

SECOND: The parents will make the same cookie recipe, one which they’ve never seen or tried before. And, the kids will judge them on their proficiency. This year’s recipe will be Bon Appetit’s Black and White and Green Cookies.

THIRD: The whole family will get together to make show-stopper plates of surrealist-inspired holiday sugar or gingerbread cookies or a surrealist gingerbread house! [Whatever that may mean!]
