Contestants and Winners of the Kids Christmas Cookie Bake Off 2021

Oh what fun we had at the 2021 Kids Christmas Cookie Bake-Off!

Thank you to all of our contestants and judges. All of the entries were amazing and completely blew us away. Every single child who baked cookies and presented them to the judges is a winner in our book.

We also would like to thank the Hoover Chamber of Commerce for hosting us, and Any Reason to Plan for decorating our stage.

Each child baked their very own Christmas cookies and presented them to our amazing panel of judges.
