- Winner Shere Case of Hickory Hills describes her cookie entry:
- "Holiday preparation usually starts in September and continues till the night before Christmas. I have been doing this for almost 18 years, and each year I add in more recipes. This particular cookie, passed on to me by my sister- in-law, Diana Forkash of Wisconsin, ranks among the favorites of the family and friends. It looks absolutely gorgeous on a plate, tastes wonderful and is absolutely the easiest thing to make. There is no baking time involved, and you can sit down on the job and enjoy doing them."
