"September is the month of maturity; the heaped basket and the garnered sheaf. It is the month of climax and completion. September! I never tire of turning it over and over in my mind. It has warmth, depth, and color. It glows like old amber." -Patience Strong
There are many reason why September is my favorite month of the year.
Autumn colors signal a time of transition into a new season and a fresh start.
Bonfires and cocoa, hayrides and sweaters.
It's my birthday month. 67 this year.
It's jodelights! anniversary, 9 years this month.
September 29 is National Coffee Day! I'll be indulging in a new flavor from The Gourmet Cupboard. I'm sure you will find a flavor you love.
September also marks the beginning of my TGC Cookie Countdown.
You can download this FREE recipe book, which includes recipes for some of the BEST COOKIES EVER!
Why are these the BEST COOKIES EVER? The Gourmet Cupboard Mixes combined with the secret ingredient — LOVE. We provide the mixes, you add in the love.
Every month showcases two distinct cookies crafted from The Gourmet Cupboard Mixes. By adding a few additional ingredients, you can create various cookies from the same mix. Start with the Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix to make Mounds Cookies (delicious!) or Chocolate Orange Drops. Alternatively, use the Scone Mix to bake decadent Tiramisu Cookies.
I've also added two Halloween Bonus Recipes: Pumpkin S'more Squares and Halloween Rice Crispy Treats. The kids love them!
If you freeze some from each month or make a double batch, you will have a variety for your cookie tray by Christmas.
To freeze cookies, allow them to cool completely. Place cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for about 30 minutes or until frozen solid. Then pack them in freezer bags or an airtight container. Place parchment paper between layers for easier thawing. To use, thaw cookies completely or pop in the microwave for a few minutes. You can also freeze the cookie dough, just wrap it up tightly.
And because nobody wants the cookies to stop at Christmas, I've also included recipes for January and February. Click below to get your free copy.
The Schrlau Cupboard Cookie Countdown Recipes start in September and continues until February. Each month has at least 2 variations from using the same mix. You will find a list of all the mixes you will need on page 19.
Then head over to my Gourmet Cupboard website and place your order.
If you order 8 or more mixes you get free shipping!
Let us know how your cookies turned out! Enjoy!
