Because Our Idea of a Balanced Diet is a Cookie in Each Hand

You might call your best treats world famous, but that doesn’t mean they are. Not yet at least.

Our annual cookie contest is back, and one lucky baker has the chance for their recipe to be crowned Swaymous. We’ll share your recipe with the Sway world just in time for readers to make at home and serve to Santa. If fame is not enough for you, the winner will also receive a pretty sweet prize.

To enter, deliver a batch of five tasty cookies, along with the recipe, to The Sway HQ (145 W. Pennsylvania Ave., Southern Pines) by Dec. 15. Why? So we can eat them and judge them based on taste, texture and presentation. We’ll pick our favorite and let you watch our attempt to replicate the recipe in a video on Dec. 20.
