If you love an outrageously delicious, fresh-baked cookie that is made with love & passion, you must check out Ginnybakes Cookies.

The Ginnybakes company was founded in 2010 by Ginny Simon, a gal with a dream to develop the perfect cookie. Her passion for baking, active living and nutrition lead to the development of the GinnyBakes line of baked goods.

I love the conscience effort that Ginny puts into all her cookies. All of her cookies are not only gluten-free (and made in a certified gluten-free facility), but also organic, kosher and Non-GMO.

These cookies are made with “love & passion” because Ginny cares that her customers are getting the very the highest quality ingredients that do not contain anything artificial, and contain no preservatives. I love that the ingredient list on these cookie boxes reads like a list of items I would find in my own kitchen pantry. There is nothing on a Ginnybakes Cookie ingredient list that I cannot pronounce or know what it is.

These cookies taste incredible too, and come in a bunch of awesome varieties that are perfect for adults and kids. Some of the flavors include: Cranberry Pistachio, Chocolate Chip Oatmeal, Ginger Crisp, Double Chocolate, Sweet Cinnamon, Butter Crisp, Chocolate Chip Macadamia, and my two favorites… Chocolate Chip and Coconut Oatmeal Bliss.

Ginnybakes also makes a great line of bake mixes, bars, crumbles (perfect over yogurt or sprinkled on top of gluten-free muffins) and Ginnyminis (tiny bite sized cookies).

All of these reasons are why I have picked up two extra boxes of my favorite Ginnybakes Cookies (Coconut Oatmeal Bliss and Chocolate Chip Love) for the prizes for this Win-It-Wednesday on BeFreeForMe.com.

One (1) winner will be randomly selected to win a box of cookies from the entries received before Tuesday, March 1, 2016 at 11:59 PM EST, and one (1) more winner will be randomly selected to win from the entries received between Wednesday, March 2 and Tuesday, March 8, 2016 at 11:59PM. SO – make sure you enter two times to win!

How can you win?

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I am starting to think about all the gluten-free sweet treats to bake up for the sweeties in my life.

And this year, instead of mixing up a bazillion types of gluten-free flours, along with some Xanthan gum to make my favorite recipes, I’m going to use XO Baking Company’s All Purpose “Cup-for-Cup”Gourmet Flour Blend.

I love that this “Cup-for-Cup” flour allows you to make your favorite, treasured recipes with no hassle and no worry. All you need to do is follow your favorite sweet baked good recipe, and substitute the traditional gluten-laden white flour with the XO Baking Company All Purpose “Cup-for-Cup” Gluten-Free Flour Blend. Your baked goods will come out delicious, and it’s easy as a snap.

All of the XO Baking Mixes are Certified Gluten Free through the Gluten Free Certification Organization (GFCO).  This means that they test every one of their products to ensure that they are safe for those with a gluten intolerance, sensitivity or celiac disease. The mixes also contain no milk or eggs and are Non-GMO.

The XO Baking Company All Purpose “Cup-for-Cup” Flour Blend is also rice free, peanut free, certified kosher and contains no preservatives, artificial flavors or colors. They are also Non-GMO.

And as well as the Flour Blend, XO Baking also offers other delicious gluten-free baked good mixes including a delicious Pound Cake, Banana Bread, Zucchini Bread and Pumpkin Bread; a new Blondie Mix; Pie Crust Mix and also a Vanilla Butter Cream Frosting.

I was so excited to find the XO Baking Company All Purpose “Cup-for-Cup” Gluten-Free Flour Blend in my local store, so I grabbed an extra two boxes to feature on this week’s Win-It-Wednesday giveaway!

A total of two (yes, 2!) BeFreeForMe.com members will be randomly selected to win a package of XO Baking Mixes All Purpose “Cup-for-Cup” Gluten-Free Flour Blend.
