Newnan-Coweta Magazine announces its seventh annual Bake Your Best Christmas Cookie Contest with judging set for Sept. 20.

We’ll have two categories this year: Traditional Cookies and Decorated Cookies.

First, second and third place prizes will be awarded in each category with one first place winner named Grand Prize Champion. Winners and their recipes will be featured in our November/December Holiday issue!

Entrants must submit six to 12 cookies with the recipe and the entrant’s name, phone number and email address, plus the category they are entering: Traditional or Decorated.

All entries must be brought to Newnan-Coweta Magazine offices at 16 Jefferson Street in Newnan on Thursday, Sept. 19, between 2 and 5 p.m. or on Friday, Sept. 20, between 9 a.m. and 12 noon.

An independent panel of judges will make their decisions based on cookie taste and appearance. Winners will be contacted the week after Sept. 20 and awarded a holiday gift basket packed with prizes from our generous local business sponsors.  NCM
