From WOOD COUNTY DISTRICT PUBLIC LIBRARY
The Wood County District Public Library (251 N. Main, BG) invites home cooks and baking enthusiasts to bring their best recipes to the library for the 5th Annual Holiday Cookie Bake-Off.
The event takes place in the library’s atrium on Monday, Dec. 16 at 7 p.m. There is no cost to taste the cookies or to enter the competition. The 2018 winning cookie was the Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookie baked by Sherry Potocnak. Previous winning bakers are Char Rehklau, Isabella Nardone, Janet Griffiths, and Jennie Whiteside.
To participate, bring at least 2 dozen cookies to the library. “Some of the bakers have run out of cookies, so we feel like having at least 2 dozen is pretty important,” said Raine. If the cookies are large, bakers can cut the cookies into smaller bites so they don’t run out of cookies before the tasting ends. Bakers can bring more than one recipe, but should have at least 2 dozen of each cookie for the tasters.
The cookie bake-off also features live music from students in Vicki Hoehner’s piano studio.
This event is sponsored by a gift from the Estate of Julia Rentz.
For more information about the Holiday Cookie Bake-Off, please call the Wood County District Public Library’s Adult Services department at 419-352-5050.
