I Won FatBoy Cookies!

Every time I enter a contest, sweepstakes, or raffle, I convince myself that I am destined to win. I quickly begin to imagine myself enjoying the spoils of my victory. Recently, I entered a Facebook trivia contest to win some cookie dough from FatBoy's Cookie Company, and I slipped into dreams of fresh-baked cookie bliss. I could picture myself boldly refusing a glass of milk to save room for yet another cookie; I could already taste the chocolaty decadence. While my reckless optimism usually results in my dreams being dashed, this time was different. This time I won.

This was not mere luck; this was the stars aligning in my favor. I had been periodically visiting FatBoy's website for a few weeks, trying to rationalize a reason that I needed to buy some cookie dough. But no occasion was coming to mind. I followed them on Twitter. I liked them on Facebook. I was inching ever closer to making the purchase. Then I started looking online for National Cookie Month deals, and I found that FatBoy's has been doing a trivia contest on Facebook every Saturday in October. This was my big chance.

If you are reading this before October 30th, 2011, you can have your big chance too! There is one more opportunity to win this upcoming Saturday. Here's what can take you to victory: All you will need to do is like FatBoys on Facebook, check to see when the trivia question will be posted, wait poised to answer the question at the designated time, and then answer the question correctly. You will be playing against other contestants, so good luck!

Now, on to the most important part: the part about the cookies. I got to pick which flavor of cookies I wanted, and it was an agonizing decision. I was close to choosing the Cranberry Nut, but in the end I went with Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk. I have a feeling that you can go wrong with picking one of the flavors, but I can testify that the PB Chocolate Chunk are thebomb.com.
I put some of these bad boys in the oven just last night. Once the cookies had been baking for a few minutes, they smelled just like the peanut butter blossom cookies my Mom makes at Christmas time. They aren't fooling around with the peanut butter here, nor are the fooling around with the chocolate. Not only is there plenty of chunky peanut butter flavor, there's also a generous amount of chocolate chunks. Unlike other prepared cookie doughs I've tried, these don't spread out in the oven. They stay...well..fat. It's nice because despite being jam packed with chips and chunks, there's still plenty of cookie in the cookie. I thought they were great!

While I got lucky and won these, I have to say that they would be totally worth buying. So next time you need to buy cookie dough, I'd say go for it! And don't worry my friends; I didn't eat them all...yet! There are plenty left for sharing!
