National Cookie Month- Make the Most of it!

I don't know about you, but I can't believe so much of October has passed already. This month is particularly important to cherish because it is National Cookie Month. You heard me right, but I can still say it again. It's National Cookie Month. This mean's that all throughout the month of October, you have a built-in excuse to take your cookie consumption to the extreme. If you haven't been taking advantage of National Cookie Month yet, don't worry. I'm here to help you make the most of it.

I'm sure that you will be celebrating National Cookie Month in your own special way. You may choose to celebrate by getting together with family and friends to break cookies, or you embark on a solo mission to tear through a bag of Oreos. It doesn't matter how you choose to celebrate as long as you celebrate. There are, however, some great cookie deals going on in the Month of October that I can't let you miss. By God, I am the Cookie Girl; this is my duty.

Here's what you need to know:

1) Mrs. Fields Cookies is doing a give away of FREE cookies for a year.

The winner of this Mrs. Field's sweepstakes will gain free membership to the "Treat of the Month" club, which will bring a delivery of gourmet cookies to your door monthly. All you have to do is submit a photo of yourself enjoying cookies to Mrs. Field's Facebook page. Shouldn't be hard, right? The deadline to enter is October 12th. I know you don't want to miss it. Plus, Mrs. Fields is making National Cookie Month even sweeter with a limited time deal on shipping.

2) Max and Erma's Free Cookie Wednesdays.

Max and Erma's kicked of National Cookie Month a little bit early. Starting in late September, the restaurant has been having Free Cookie Wednesdays, which is exactly as delightful as it sounds. With the purchase of any menu item (not drinks or side dishes) you can get two fresh, hot cookies for free. Basically, if you are patronizing Max and Erma's on a Wednesday, you get free cookies. Simple as that. And remember: not eating free cookies is a sin.

3) Free Cookies at Great American Cookie Co.

The Great American Cookie Co. is hosting their second annual Reading is SWEET National Book Drive. All throughout the month of October, Great American Cookie will hook you up with a free cookie for bringing in a new or gently used book donation. This event is great because it combines doing something kind with cookies, leading to double the happiness.

4) $10 off a $30 purchase at Cheryl's Cookies and Brownies

That's a pretty sweet discount. If you have never tried Cheryl's Cookies, you are missing out. It might seem like a lot to spend $30.00 on cookies ($20 with this discount!), but they are worth the money. The buttercream....my God, the buttercream. You will get hooked, but don't worry; Cheryl's is always running specials, so this is not the last great deal you will see from them.

5) Fatboy's Cookie Dough- Facebook Trivia and Crazy Cranberry Nut Cookies

Through the power of the Tweetosphere, I found out that Fatboy's Cookie Dough is doing a great combination of October events. As you may know, October isn't just National Cookie Month, it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Through the Month of October, Fatboy's is donating all of the profits from their Crazy Cranberry Nut cookie dough to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. You will have to take a look at their website to see how crazy good their cookies look. Fatboy's is also doing a weekly Facebook trivia contest through the moth of October. "Like" them to play and win yourself some cookies!
