12 Days of Christmas! Day 11: Q + A and a Giveaway! {CLOSED}
Thanks for asking all of these questions guys! I filmed in the dark, Max is running around screaming, the quality is not great, but I’m uploading and sharing anyway. Total real life and it’s kind of embarrassing. It is also THIRTY SEVEN (omg) minutes long and the amount of times I paused the video and was horrified at my expression? Too many to count.
Just a note that tomorrow’s last video and (HUGE!!!) giveaway will be uploaded a bit later – around 3 or 4PM EST. Lacy and I are having our big baking day and I’m going to film some it! Be sure to check back for tomorrow’s giveaway because it’s absolutely incredible and gorgeous!
Yesterday’s giveaway winner for the Jo Malone treats is Ashley who said “I definitely wore the Lucky You perfume by Lucky Brand. Honestly, I was complimented on it ALL THE TIME, so I’m not even sure why I stopped wearing it?!”
Congrats Ashley! Please email me at howsweeteats (at) gmail (dot) com with your mailing address!

Wow, that looks great!

Christmas thumbprints with sprinkles and icing. My aunt’s recipe!
I cannot get enough “Gratitude Bites” – the name I’ve deemed them because it trumps “Energy Balls” – which are essentially a sphere of oatmeal and a nut butter with a bunch of other yummy goodies (shredded coconut, cocoa nibs, flax seeds, chia seeds, agave, vanilla)!
Jessica,
I doubt you’ll have the time to read my humble, lowly comment, but I have been following your blog for years and you are BY FAR my all-time favorite. I don’t have a blog of my own (YET), but I have talked about it for years, and every day when I read your blog, I can feel the inspiration festering. I just subscribed to youtube and follow you on FB, but I have been a religious, long-time follower via the blog itself and Instagram. Thank you SO much for all of the videos this week – I have been loving them!
I love Italian Anise cookies…I know they are a polarizing cookie, but they remind me of my childhood and my grandmother. I also love chocolate Italian cookies. Yum.Â
I love the fun of cutout sugar cookies, but it doesn’t get much better than a homemade ginger snap!

My favorite holiday cookie are these forgotten cookies which are meringue cookies with chocolate chips, dried cherries and walnuts. They not only look festive they feel like marshmallows in my mouth with a chocolate cherry explosion!
My favorite is fudge (though technically not a cookie).
My favorite holiday cookies are my mom’s triple chip cookies!Â
I follow you on Facebook!!Â
They’re not exactly holiday cookies, but whenever we visit my husband’s family for the holidays we always make an hour long drive to the most amazing Italian bakery and buy all the cookies, Â so Italian cookie are my holiday favorite cookie because I associate them with this holiday tradition. And they’re delicious!
I love shortbread cookies at XMAS time!
I love a classic frosted sugar cookie – bonus points for sprinkles!
All of the snickerdoodles!
My Great Grandmother’s sugar cookie cut out recipe. Â It’s the best!! This year my 20 month old daughter joined in the baking fun, so it has been used now by 5 generations of women in our family!! I don’t know anyone’s else who makes cookies that taste like these!! Family is everything!

Spritz cookies – love ’em!
I love all cookies, although the “Hello Dollies” are my favorites along with “Chocolate Balls”. These were my favorites when I was young. Now I have since found out I’m gluten sensitive so I will be working on converting them.
