Cookie Baker Information & Registration
The main feature of Cookie Tables and Cocktails is the highly-acclaimed Cookie Contest. Amateur and Professional bakers vie for First Place, Second Place, Third Place, and Honorable Mention in each division. Other categories include Best Chocolate Cookie, Best Use of a Unique Ingredient, Best Heritage Cookie. Non-competitive entries are also welcome.
