** This giveaway is now closed**
I was in ALDI a few days ago when I noticed nearly an entire aisle dedicated to Christmas cookies and sweets and knew I just had to share. After all, sharing is caring and everyone knows calories don’t count between the months of November and December, right?
Yep! The calories totally don’t count. 😉 I’m almost positive I read that somewhere.
And c’mon now, if we are going to get technical here, cookies are made with eggs, and sometimes nuts and what could be more healthy than popping a wee bit of egg in your mouth to get your day started?
Or having a bit of chocolate on hand for a little afternoon pick me up? 😉 Am I right, or what!?
So let’s do this!
One lucky winner will receive one package of the following:
- Zimtsterne cookies
- Almond Spekulatius cookies
- Gefüllte Herzon Vollmilch
- Pfeffernüsse Glasiert
- Weihnachts Mischung Schokolade
- Erdnussberge
- Caramel Waffles
How you can win it:
If you could only have one cookie to eat, or one particular kind of chocolate to treat yourself to for the rest of your life, what would it be? {I would choose fig and hazelnut biscotti and sea salt caramels from Black Dinah Chocolatiers.}
Just answer that one question below in the comment section and you’re entered to win. Life’s pretty complicated sometimes, so I like to keep things simple around here. This particular giveaway is open to residents anywhere on the planet earth.
Rules:
1 entry per person/ip address. If you cheat, you will totally be disqualified.
This giveaway ends Sunday, November 18th, 2018 @9 pm EST and the winner will be announced in the Monday, November 19th edition of Mornings with Mavis. You will be notified via email and have 24 hours to claim your prize. If you do not claim your prize within 24 hours, the prize will be forfeited and I will eat all the cheese!
Good Luck. I hope you win!

Sue says

Passing on the cookie away. However, I appreciate the humor. I saw a sign over someone’s desk years ago. It read something like: “Foods of the same color have the same calories. So, white chocolate has the same calories as mushrooms.” Don’t we wish! Good luck, Y’All!

Every time I make one of my favorite cookie recipes I think “THIS is my actual favorite!” So I’m not really sure, but I’ll go with peanut butter cup cookies, because I’ve been wanting them for a few weeks..just waiting for my mom to deliver the mini peanut butter cups!
As for chocolate..Finland’s Fazer, either the one with licorice bits or the salted toffee. We’re planning to tour their factory on Saturday!
Katie W says
Hmm… to pick just one, what a commitment! I think a fresh chocolate chip cookie from Tiff’s Treats would be my choice. I don’t know that I can pick just one chocolate, but I don’t think I’d be upset with only having Justin’s dark chocolate peanut butter cups for the rest of my life.
Pamela says
well I like many many (too many) types of cookies so this is difficult. So if I had to choose it would have to be one I make all the time, good ole back of the bag toll house chocolate chip cookies.

My Mom’s Raspberry Slices. Godiva Chocolate anything!!!
Rachel says
Another vote for shortbread cookies. Classic, simple, darn near perfect.

Heather says
Chocolate chip cookies with salt flakes on top.
Kirsten says
Anything sea salt and chocolate but preferably Lindor chocolate
Erica says
Big chewy sugar cookies get me everytime. When they’re perfect, they’re perfect. Unfortunately there are lots of dry sugar cookies in the world, but I’m willing to try them all to find those perfect ones.
Cyndy says
So many cookies… to just choose one. I would have to say Peanut Butter cookies. Definitely a favorite I will never get tired of.
Faith says
Tea cookies. And chocolate covered cashews!!

HooBoy, Mavis! This is such a yummy giveaway!!! Aldi’s Christmas collection is sooo delightful. Very nice of you.

I’m such a sucker for anything with a good rich chocolate and marshmallow. So, a good cookie that combines both would be my choice. I make a cookie at Christmas time that combines these and give away about 40 dozen each year. I love that I can make something people wait for every year…. So fun!
Kristy L Shupe says
For life, hmmmm. Plain old peanut butter cookies for me!!
suzanne says
My daughters lemon bars. Sweet, tart and not to crumbly.
Jill says
I’d choose the Salted Peanut Cookies my grandma had waiting for us every time we visited. I’ve made them for my dad (his favorite too). Mine are good, but not as good as grandma’s! She’s no longer with us and I miss her. I think I’ll make these cookies tonight for my hubby in her honor.
Barbara Serna says
Biscochitos. A cookie from New Mexico that is alot like a shortbread cookie with cinammon and sugar and anise. Fantastic.

Andes thin mints – frozen

My late mother’s Russian tea cookies. Such a simple recipe: Ground walnuts, flour, vanilla, butter, salt, baked for about an hour, then rolled in powdered sugar. I have her recipe but they never turn out the same.

My mom always baked dozens of cookies at the holidays, so it’s hard to pick one! I adored it when Mom would mix up things, and some of her Tollhouse right-from-The-bag recipe had a few raisins tossed in as a surprise! Or the rolled up powdered balls (can’t remember the name!)-yum! And I can’t forget Peanut Butter Patties/Tagalongs from the Girl Scouts!
As for chocolate, I’m old-school, and love Dark Chocolate Goldenberg’s Peanut Chews!
Rachel says
Definitely my late grandma’s poppyseed kolacky.
Jennifer says
How do u choose one? The first cookie that came to mind is choc chip- I never turn one down and don’t make them enough- but then I remembered my grandma’s oatmeal lace and wish I had one now. Candy wise it’s See’s candies that I also enjoy. We just got a ALDI I’m going to have to check fir this aisle
Katie Wayland says
Although it is like choosing between my children, I would have to say Jam Thumbprint cookies, homemade of course!

Kelli says
This one is a tough one for me but I’m going to say my homemade caramel chocolate chip cookies are it.

This is an easy one – my cookie would be the Snickerdoodle. It tastes of my childhood and fills me with comfort and love back when life was much simpler. It is full of buttery goodness and cinnamon – great eaten alone and over the top dunked in icy cold milk!
Laura says
Homemade chocolate chip cookies about 5 minutes out of the oven when they are still warm for the win!

What a fun giveaway! When I gave birth to our youngest daughter on December 26, a wonderful friend visited us in the hospital and brought a tray of homemade cookies, including some delightful candy cane oatmeal cookies. They’re chewy and pepperminty and were just perfect to me then. They’re still pretty darn perfect to me now and I’d eat them by the pan full if left unsupervised!
JoElle says
My mom’s rolled Christmas cookies!!
Maggie P. says
As far as cookies go, I love homemade cookies of almost any sort. Especially chocolate chip and snickerdoodles. As for chocolate, I love dark chocolate!

Crystal says
Scotchmallows from See’s and lemon bars 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway! FUN
Melanie says
My Aunt Carol’s tollhouse chocolate chip cookies. When I asked her why her cookies come out better with the same recipe she told me that she follows the recipe to the letter. I guess I better pay more attention to what I’m doing!

My greatest weakness – oatmeal butterscotch cookies!
Thank you!
Scott Henley says
Anythin g Pfeffernüße…. Iced or not….. Ginger Bread is Christmas…… Thank You…..

I love the little toll House chocolate chip cookies still warm from the oven with a cold glass of milk! Although my mom used to make a very delicate Spritz cookie in strips from a recipe she got from a German woman she knew. Maybe this year I’ll try my hand at that.
Tisha Anderson says
Cranberry pecan cookies with orange icing! Tart and sweet and ohhhh so good. BTW, you may want to edit that last line. I think this time you will eat all the cookies and not the cheese!

Bonnie Schmidt says
Peanut butter cookies! Not fancy, but I wouldn’t tire of them!
Rebekah U says
Molasses cookies!
Jeanie says
I would choose either the Napoleon’s Hat cookie from the danish bakery in Solvang, CA which is a butter cookie filled with almond marzipan and dipped in chocolate or on the homemade front, my Gran’s molasses cookies.
As far as candy goes I love See’s candy Bordeaux or California crunch. In a pinch I will gladly eat Almond Roca.
Karen W says

Melanie says
If had a cookie to pick it would be the classic chocolate chip cookie.
Deborah McGeary says
a Mr. Goodbar!
Karen Kolb says
I would choose See’s Candies sea salt caramel master chocolates. My aunt used to buy them for us when we moved to Oklahoma from California. It felt like Christmas once our treat box from California arrived.
Cris Campbell says
I love dark chocolate dipped macaroons. They cover most of the food groups.
Megan says
Christmas treats are the best.
Anissa says
Kitchen Sink cookies. That way you don’t have to pick a favorite. Pretty much any ingredient goes. But leave out the raisins for me. My new favorite chocolate is a dark chocolate toasted coconut thin chip from Josh Early candy. If that is not possible a Reese’s egg, bat, pumpkin or Christmas tree works. So much more peanut butter in the fun shapes as compared to the regular peanut butter cup!
Sandra Schnaare says
Favorite cookie…Chocolate Hazelnut Orange Biscotti, yes it is the receipe you had shared. My co-workers loved them when I made them as gifts last year! Received a box of milk and dark chocolate creamy sea salt topped catmels! They came from Maxfield Candy Company of Salt Lake City. The best EVER!!

Chocolate chip but I do like my sugar cookies at Christmas.

Lolly says
Idk how I am supposed to choose ONE cookie?!?! Cause I choose based on my mood. I DO really love the perniki cookies my friend made me yrs ago….a thickly rolled sugar cookie….with a touch of anise oil….and frosted. I have a terrible weakness for these cookies. And once, I decided to freeze them, so I would have to go through the bother of thawing a cookie if I wanted it….and I learned that frozen sugar cookies are even better than room temp sugar cookies! eek! (My mom’s mexican wedding cookies are pretty much up there, too! drool!!)
I like Lindt chocolate….mmmm…those little round truffles they have!!!!
Lynda Schripsema says
One kind of cookie for the rest of my life? I’d have to choose my mother’s Christmas Walnut Crescents; they are little crescent moons of walnut shortbread rolled in powdered sugar.

My favourite cookie is shortbread, and if it’s dipped in chocolate I would still accept it! 🙂

Arnott’s Tim Tams from Australia…chocolate covered gooey wafers…OMG!

Toffee caramel chocolate-coated almonds. Yum, yum! Or maybe it’s Alexandrites. I can’t decide.

Mint chocolate girl scout cookies
Nancy says
Fannie May Mint Meltaways – I’ve always loved those!

My very favorite is the hermit cookies with golden raisins my mom made, she passed away when I was only only 33 so they feel like a hug from the past….isnt it crazy the way something so simple can be so comforting!
NICOLE PRINTUP says
My Mom’s chocolate chip cookies…really anything baked by my Mom!
Julia Park Tracey says
All of these sound delicious. One cookie? They don’t make anymore but I used to be partial to Nabisco Raisin Biscuit or Cranberry Biscuit. Perfect to eat with tea. If I have to choose one, I’ll go with chocolate-dipped coconut macaroons. I love those little haystacks of coconut! And one chocolate? I’m a See’s afficionado so I will say a See’s honeycomb crisp (also known as “seafoam” candy) — thick chunks of golden honeycomb in light or dark chocolate. SOOOOO good. I wish I knew how to make it.
Helen in Meridian says
Toroni nougats from Italy. They come in little boxes and are a childhood

Chocolate anything!
eliz says
Definitely some plain dark chocolate and probably some type of oat cookie.
Vanessa Foster says
Snickerdoodle cookies and turtle chocolates.
Meredith says
It would have to be a really good brownie.

lynne says
my homemade blueberry pie 🙂 LynneinWI
Amy S says
Scottish Shortbread
Gina says
Chocolate chip!
Jennifer Fairbanks says
I would have to pick a plain ole Hershey’s chocolate bar for the chocolate. My dad always bought my brother and I Hershey bars. He didn’t make a lot of money even though he worked two jobs, so the treat from him meant more than anything to my brother and I. They still do. Many times when we’re together we eat one just for him. So for me, yes a plain old Hershey’s bar, always, it reminds me of my memories with Daddy
Laura says
My candy would be See’s candies walnut cream. Delicious!
Renay Bennett says

Iv’e spent the past ten minutes staring at my keyboard with my fingers paused in mid air….I can’t possibly pick just one!

Maryann Smith says
Seven layer cookies, sometimes called Magic Bars.

Rachel says
I’d have to choose Peanut Butter Blossoms!
samantha surovec says
My favourite cookie is a maple nut shortbread drizzled with dark chocolate, so crispy and buttery/maple/nut good! Chocolate has to be Lindor dark truffles. Love your giveaways Mavis,such insight into all your readers!
Denise says
Favorite chocolate here has to be Aldi’s Dark chocolate-covered almonds and they are not near as good anywhere else if I can even find them. And I am a ‘cookie monster’ so almost everything is good. There are a few I don’t care for, but not many!
Reading your blog everyday is a bit of sunshine!
Tim says
My instinct is to say that oatmeal scotchies would be my choice, but I think my primary attraction to those is not the cookie itself, but the handfuls of butterscotch chips I eat before we make them!!!
Jennifer says
The best cookie for me is a double chocolate peppermint sandwich cookie… my oldest found the recipe years ago and it gives perfect use to all the left over broken candy canes… plus it needs strong coffee as it is so rich ☕️
Coleen says

Mint Milanos forever. During college I lived near the factory and would get 2nds by the bag (5 lbs for $5). I would eat through 5 lbs a week and probably ate my weight in cookies in a year of college. I still love them to this day.

Mavis, I would definitely eat the cookies I bought at Harrods Food Hall more than 30 years ago. I can still taste them! Chocolate chunks, caramel and some sort of nut. I figured out that I probably spent the equivalent of about $25 on six cookies but believe me, they were worth every penny!
Rachael matson says
Too hard for me to pick just 1 cookie. For chocolate I’d go with Guittard dark chocolate.
Kristen Finnemore says
dark chocolate covered plums & my grandmother’s molasses cookies
Sharon Demers says
Thank you Mavis! Wow, it sure is hard to narrow down a favorite cookie. If I had to choose one it would be Iced Molasses Cookies with Raisins. When my brothers and I were growing up, my mom would make these on snow days. She would serve them with a mug of Hot Chocolate with a big spoonful of Fluff (marshmallow creme).
t* says
Warm chocolate chip cookies with big chunks of walnut!
sharon says
Crispy by TJ. Yum. Just love them!!
Diana says
My friend’s moleasses cookies.
Cathy says
Aldi’s Peanut Butter Cups – absolutely divine!

If I could only have one cookie from now on, it would have to be homemade Gingersnaps. My grandpa always made them and I use his recipe. They’re crisp and chewy at the same time, and I never get tired of them.

Biscoff cookies are a favorite at our house!! But fresh made shortbread with Yorkshire tea is a winning combo!

Melinda D says
It’s so hard to choose just one……but I am a sucker for white chocolate (in cookies, in my coffee, in my hand….I’ll take it however I can get it).
Michelle says
I was born in Germany some 50 years ago. Any time I get to eat any German related goody, it takes me back to my childhood. Christmas in Germany is magical!
Lebkuchen is my favorite. A spicy gingerbread cookie coated with chocolate.
Laura H says
Spritz cookies! They are so delicious, but I only make them for Christmas. Otherwise I’d pack on the pounds. Lol!
Elaine says
My 10yr old niece’s snicker doodles. Her great grandma, “grandma cookie” (no joke that’s what they called her) was German and passed down her recipe and my niece learned from her great aunt and now she bakes them with my sister in law. I never had a snicker doodle before! But one Christmas my niece, my son and I spent a day watching cheesy Christmas movies snacking on snicker doodles. Im not normally a sweet eater so I kept saying, ok, no more. It’s too much. But I couldn’t stop. Could. Not. Stop. Eventually, I gave in and enjoyed every cookie until we polished off the entire tin!! I don’t know how I lived so long without that cookie!! Never again!
2nd choice are my mother in law’s homemade Scottish shortbread.

Debi Dubay says
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies and Ferrero Rochet candy
Marie Rathgeb says
Cotes d’Or chocolate with ginger and lemon bits anytime. I can only find them when I visit my relatives in France. Soooooo gooood…. a few pounds of this treat does not last long enough in my house though.
Melissa says
Too hard to come up with just one! I am a cookie fiend but always come back to my childhood recipe for soft and chewy peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. For a chocolate it would have to be a combo of toffee or caramel filled with almonds, coated in chocolate (homemade almond toffee crunch mmm) or maybe I would go with homemade super fudgy chocolate filled brownies – does narrowing it down to three count as an answer? 😉
Suzy says
We have an emotional attachment to Milka chocolate after decades of living in Europe. My current favorite is the one with Daim bits.
Catherine says
Triple Ginger Cookies from Flying Star here in Albuquerque. And I hope I win, because we don’t have Aldi in NM, and I miss it so after living in St. Louis. Pick me, pick me, pick me!

I could eat white chocolate cranberry cookies for the eat of my life and not get tired of them! I MacGuyvered a recipe for them after buying similar cookie dough through a school fundraiser. Mine are way better and a family favorite!
