A special cookie (and giveaway!) to celebrate The Emotional Baker’s 100th recipe

Key Lime Pie Cookie Sandwiches

In my 2 years and 8 months of blogging, I may not have been the most consistent, but I have certainly been the most tedious blogger.

See, when I started creating The Emotional Baker, I wanted everything to be perfect and customized. I wanted to create my own logo and web design. & I thought one intro to graphic design class and one basic computer coding class would be enough to do just that. Boy, was I wrong.

So, instead of getting right to work, sharing recipes, I spent five months trying to take my amateur knowledge and make a professional site. Bad idea. But at least I put those classes to somewhat good use 😉

Here’s my logo sketch:

& web design: (that I never could get to work :/) But I did manage a somewhat customized sidebar – yay basic HTML!)

Website Design

Eventually, October 10, 2013, I just went with what I had and set out to share vegan treats.

I’ve struggled with photography and sticking to a regular schedule, but besides all that, I’ve loved coming up with fun treats. Some of my favorites include:

I also love connecting with fellow food bloggers. I am constantly amazed by their skills and creativity.

When I realized I was approaching my 100th recipe, I wanted to do something fun to celebrate. First way to celebrate – a delicious cookie. I’m pretty sure I’ve shared more cookie recipes than anything else. Cookies are the perfect, low hassle treat. These Key Lime Pie Cookie Sandwiches feature a graham cracker flavored cookie filled with key lime frosting – (& rolled in sprinkles, if desired 😉 )

Next way to celebrate – with a giveaway! Somewhat timidly, I reached out to some of my favorite food bloggers and asked if they’d be willing to throw a giveaway with me. And as always, I received supportive replies 😉

So, in honor of my 100th recipe, I invite you to enter to win a $100 Amazon Gift Card (grand prize,) or a prize pack! More giveaway details below the recipe!

I truly want to thank each and every one of you that have ever visited, commented or shared The Emotional Baker‘s content. It really means the world to me 🙂 (especially my parents for letting me destroy their kitchen, turn their dining room into a makeshift photography studio, and handling all my freak outs in and out of the kitchen 🙂 )

  25. Are we the same person?! I purchased my URL and set up WordPress, then spent five months worrying it would never be good enough. But then I bit the bullet and started actually posting–why didn’t I do it sooner? My page is still very simple and the photos aren’t always spectacular, but I’m proud of my little corner of the Internet. And you should be too! Love seeing your recipes (especially this one!) and following you on Insta! Here’s to 100 more 😄
