Winter is the perfect time for baking. With the girls off for the break, Kat and I decided to get them together for a baking session. Recently, we received some Coggies Sugar Cookie mix to review. Coggies provided us with the perfect activity to whip out on a dreary winter day! (The smell of fresh baked cookies truly does wonders for the soul!)Coggies is a small business based in Minnesota. (We love our American businesses!) Catherine, the owner of Coggies, has always loved to bake. Her cookies have always been favorites. She entered her cookies into a state fair, eager to review the judge's comments. To her delight, she actually won a ribbon! She has won State Fair ribbons for both her sugar and molasses cookies. (In fact, the sugar cookies won 1st place and the molasses won 2nd.) With a recipe for prize winning cookies, Catherine had to share her cookies with the world! First, she shipped them in boxes. However, some of the cookies would arrive broken. To avoid breakage, she came up with the idea of sending mixes that require few ingredients. And, voila! Now, we all have the ability to bake Coggies in our own kitchens!
From the start, we could tell that Coggies provided us with an easy and delicious activity! We made Coggies Sugar Cookies and were surprised (pleasantly) that we only needed to add butter and eggs to the mix. Since fewer steps were involved to create the dough, it was much easier to navigate with the girls. The directions on the box were clear and simple--no guesswork.
