Giveaway! Effie's Homemade Oatcakes and Corncakes

Effie'sCakes
Remember my post a few weeks ago where I raved about these delicious oatcakes made by a local Bostonian company? Oatcakes that sort of reminded me of a less nobby version of Hob Nobs?

The kind folks at Effie's have agreed to give away TWO PACKAGES of their delicious biscuits to one lucky winner! You'll get to try a package of the corn cakes and also a package of the oat cakes.

In order to enter, please comment below telling me your favorite cookie growing up. As a child, my mom never really baked that much at home because she didn't love sweets (most Asian do not!). I did love anything made with Oreos, my favorite being Cookies & Cream ice cream!

For more chances to enter, you can do any of the following:

1. Retweet the Giveaway
2. Become a Facebook Friend of Tiny Urban Kitchen
3. Subscribe via RSS

For each additional entry, please post another comment letting me know which one you did.

Thanks! I will leave this open until Thursday night, MIDNIGHT. Winner will be announced on Friday.

Good luck!

P.S. US addresses only

  6. When I was a kid, I absolutely loved Oreos but hated the cream. I would sort of suffer through the cream first and then dunk the cookies into milk. Delish!

  13. My grandmother made "Crybaby Cookies" with molasses, butterscotch chips and raisins and I loved them. No matter how many times I've tried to make them, they just don't taste the same. That missing ingredient of grandma's love is the difference, I guess.

  17. Love these oatcakes! My fave childhood cookie has to be homemade oatmeal raisin cookies. (It's even better when you make ice cream sandwiches out of them!)

  18. I have these oat cakes at the farmers market but never tried them! They look yummy! As I kid, I loved my grandmother's almond crescents the best - so crumbly and sweet.

  21. Oh I love hobnobs and hope I get to try these! My fave cookie as a kid was Fig Newtons- mainly because my parents had us convinced that the fig part was really chocolate and we didn't know any better....

  22. I didn't really have sweets too much growing up either, but my favorite was strawberry shortcakes. Not a cookie, but fresh and delicious! Can't wait to try the corn and oat cakes!

  25. My favorite cookie hands down were pepperidge farm milano cookies! i would do anything for one of those and if memory serves me correctly, I think on more than one occasion that's exactly what happened. One particular story involved 7th grade summer camp, a very silly dare, one gigantic tuba and a single slice of melted cheese and I'll just leave it at that.

  35. hmm ... didn't have a lot of cookies growing up. my favorite at the chinese bakery was Napoleon cake from Maria's. totally not like western-styled Napoleons with a lot of cream. it was more about the cruchy puff pastry and walnuts in the cake layer.
