Pillsbury Bake-Off Million-Dollar Winner: Double-Delight Peanut Butter Cookies
All You Need Is a Recipe and a Dream
I promised myself I wasn't going to tear up when the Pillsbury Bake-Off million dollar first-prize winner was announced, but I did, and I'm not sure why. Of course it should be noted that I used to cry at the end of every Party of Five episode, too.
The winner, Carolyn Gurtz (right) of Gaithersburg, Maryland, seemed like a lovely lady, dressed in her powder-blue pantsuit, talking about how much she loves her family, husband, and baking. Gurtz's winning recipe for Double-Delight Peanut Butter Cookies [Recipe appears after the jump] was mighty tasty and certainly wasn't overly complicated or overwrought—though there were a number of those at the Bake-Off.
It isn't the peanut butter cookie that will change my life, but the million dollars she won might very well change hers. And maybe that's the point.
