Food Network Christmas Cookie Challenge #1: Update | Cookie Connection

Julia M. UsherFounder and Host, Cookie Connection; Owner, Recipes for a Sweet Life

Hi, everyone! I just wanted to let you know that the full episode of this season's first Food Network Christmas Cookie Challenge can be found here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/sho...christmas-family-fun

Congrats to Aime at @ThePaintedPastry for winning! And to Arlene of @Chua Cookie and all of the other competitors for getting as far as they did. The Food Network sure knows how to create a pressure-cooker work environment. There was so little time to do anything, but you ladies worked marvelously under pressure - and looked absolutely beautiful in the process!

So fun to see a familiar cookie stencil at 3:38, too!

Stay tuned for more Food Network updates. I hear there are other Cookie Connection members in subsequent episodes! I am also trying to get a Cookie Connection live chat going with several of the contestants; it will likely happen in January when we are not distracted by the holidays. So please also stay tuned for more info about that chat!

Thank you very much! The pressure was intense and we were essentially blind in those kitchens! It was so much fun and I was honored to win!
