Three of my favorite things in the world are cookies, dinner parties and kitchen appliances…and not in that order.
I especially love it when all three things merge: using kitchen appliances to bake cookies for a dinner party.
Recently I was contacted by Del Webb, a home building company that has partnered with KitchenAid to encourage philanthropy and community this summer with 1,000 Cooks for the Cure, which challenges America to host 1,000 dinner parties to raise money for breast cancer research and community outreach programs.
The annual event has raised nearly $8 million since 2001 for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. I’m all about supporting good causes and this one is no different.
Giveaway – NOW CLOSED
To help you do more baking for dinner parties (everybody does that, right?) and to support the 1,000 Cooks for a Cure program, I’m giving away your choice of one KitchenAid Seven Speed Hand Mixer ($79.99) OR one KitchenAid 5-Speed Artisan Series Blender ($129.99).
The Rules:
- Leave a comment here that answers the following questions: what is the first thing you’ll make with the blender OR hand mixer if you win?
- Anonymous comments: leave your email address in the comment field so I can reach you.
- This contest will close on Thursday, July 21 at 11:59PM CST and one winner, chosen via random.org, will be announced by Friday, July 22. I will notify you via email and you will have 72 hours to respond before I choose a new winner.
- Contest open to US & Canada Residents only.
For Additional Entries:
- Follow me on Twitter and re-tweet the following message: Win a great @KitchenAidUSA gadget from In Good Taste (cc @MarisCallahan) in honor of the 1,000 Cooks for a Cure program: http://bit.ly/oNkMvy.
- Become a fan of In Good Taste on Facebook.
- Suggest that your friends become a fan of In Good Taste on Facebook.
- Please leave one comment for each entry.
- 2 cups (8-ounces) chopped pecans
- 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- ⅔ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Prepare the pecans: Place the pecan pieces on a baking sheet and toast them for 8-10 minutes, tossing them every 2 minutes to make sure they aren't burning (this can happen rather quickly).Once the nuts have cooled, put ¾ cup of them into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until pecans are just ground - the mixture should be a little thicker than sand.
- Place the chopped and ground pecans into a large bowl and add the flour, salt and baking soda. In another bowl, or in the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the egg, then the vanilla extract and beat until all items are well combined, like frosting.
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Form the dough into 2-inch balls, and roll the balls in the sugar-salt mixture until coated. Place the balls on a baking sheet 3 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, until they appear golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before removing. Makes 24-30 cookies, depending on how large you roll them.

July 24, 2011 at 10:25 amI’m sure the first thing I would make is smoothies with the kids – they love them, and so nice to beat the summer heat!

July 21, 2011 at 9:06 pmI would make a smooth green smoothie 🙂 My blender sucks!
Sue
July 21, 2011 at 6:36 pmMy blender broke yesterday! With all the fresh fruit available this time of the year, my husband makes the most wonderful smoothies every morning for breakfast. We went w/o this am and will do so again tomorrow, because work is getting in the way of a new blender purchase. Such sad faces on our children! We need smoothies in the morning with the record heat wave hitting the midwest! Also, love the pink blender. I helped start the Komen organization locally, and am proud of each any every opportunity to enhance awareness for breast cancer research.

July 21, 2011 at 2:17 amYou can never have enough cookie recipes! And pecans are one of my favourite nuts, so these are perfect. Thankyou!
sheila @ Elements
July 20, 2011 at 11:49 pmThe cookies sound wonderful! Do they taste a lot like pecan sandies? I’m sitting here wishing a had several of them! 🙂

July 20, 2011 at 10:18 pmI love the pink kitchen gadgets! Your pecan cookies look delicious. I haven’t had cookies like this for a long time. Make me crave for them right now. I don’t even bake cookies…. this has to be changed this year! Well I can’t have any more gadgets in my kitchen and I’m fan of yours everywhere, so I hope someone will win this giveaway! 🙂

July 20, 2011 at 5:06 pmHi Maris! What a fantastic giveaway and promotion with Del Webb. Kudos to you for hosting it. Luv the color of the hand mixer, hope I’m the one you pick! 🙂 Should I be the lucky winner, the first thing I’d probably use it for is to beat egg whites.
Luv this cookie recipe, as I not only luv, luv cookies and nuts…I luv pecan sandies. These have to be good with 2 cups of pecans.
Hope you’re have a good week and good luck to all the entrants!

Lisa @ Tarte du Jour

I just got a new blender and mixer last Christmas so I don’t need them but I’m sure some lucky winner will definitely enjoy them!! Great giveaway!

Emma
July 20, 2011 at 9:37 amI love dinner parties too, but my apartment is so small… any chance you are giving away apartment renovations as well?
I’m pretty happy with my sketchy hand mixer that lights up green inside when it’s working too hard, but I’m not so happy with my ghetto blender that I adopted several years ago. It’s sad. I bet I could blend up my old blender in this new one. Or I could make a nice rhubarb slush. Perfect for the hot heat of the afternoon!
Ali Grace
July 20, 2011 at 9:34 amFun! I’d definitely make a smoothie with fresh berries/peaches in the blender. And with the hand mixer… I’d want to make a meringue for a lemon pie or banana pudding.

July 20, 2011 at 6:12 amA wonderful cause, Maris! And a super giveaway. My hand mixer is so old half the time it doesn’t work. I love having one because it’s easier for making cookies than hauling out the big Kitchen Aid mixer. So I’d use it quite a bit. Easy to store too.
(Yummy cookie recipe!)

Lisa from Lisas Yarns
July 19, 2011 at 6:03 pmLook at your with the great giveaways! I would choose the handmixer and I would probably make this apple dip for my co-workers. It’s so simple, but so easy – cream cheese, brown sugar, and vanilla. Mmmm… So so good. Granted, I don’t eat cream cheese anymore, so I would have to make it and then not eat… unless I used Tofutti cream cheese and I don’t know if I could get away with that substitution as I fear my co-workers would def taste the difference!

July 19, 2011 at 1:35 pmHi Maris, great looking cookies! If I got a new blender, I’d make smoothies with it (followed closely by a cocktail – just to test the ice crushing setting of course! 🙂 ), and if I got a new mixer, I’d make some cupcakes. If I could choose which to win, I’d go for the blender. Have a wonderful day!!!

July 19, 2011 at 12:21 pmHi, Maris. I’m with Greg, so I guess I’d be making margaritas too. I would get a kick out of winning a pink blender for him. (If multiple entries per household are allowed.) Also, I just liked you on Facebook. Love your blog!
