This holiday season Betty Crocker is challenging you to spread some holiday cheer by baking some cookies and leaving them on a doorstep of a friend. It’s really something that could catch on. I know when I posted on Facebook earlier I had a friend jump in and say it’s a great idea and that she’s going to do it as well.
The kids and I went to Walmart and picked out three types of Betty Crocker cookies to bake and bring to friends. They had such fun baking the cookies and being the taste testers. Little Quinny even helped out making the cookies. She loved to watch the mixer make the cookies and she got to help criss-cross the peanut butter cookies with the help of her siblings. We made peanut butter, sugar, and chocolate chip cookies. We didn’t do any fancy recipes or shapes with them because not only am I 15 days away from having a baby, but our dog of 15 years died yesterday. I have to say that this day has totally helped me, though. I really enjoyed secretly dropping off cookies to friends’ houses. I think I’m going to pick up some more cookie tins and do this for a few more friends because it just felt good!!
This is how you can participate:
- Print a coupon and head to your local Walmart or grocery story and pickup your favorite cookie mix.
- Bake your cookies (you can find ideas at Betty Crocker).
- #SpreadCheer by delivering cookies to someone special.
- Share your #SpreadCheer moment on social media and encourage your receiver to keep the movement going.
In order for you to spread some holiday cheer I’m giving away $20 in Paypal Cash. You can use it to get some cookie supplies or a Christmas present for someone you love.
