VegNews Holiday Cookie Contest 2012 Finalists

From no-bake bites to berry-filled biscotti and even peanut butter dog biscuits, hundreds of recipes were entered into the second annual VegNews Holiday Cookie Contest. After much voting and deliberation, the VegNews staff narrowed down their favorites to the following 10 finalists. And on Monday, the VN staff will have the tough job of sampling dozens of cookies to determine this year’s best of the best. Winners for our three coveted prizes (including a Vitamix) will be announced Tuesday, December 18, and congratulations to the bakers of these tasty sweets!
