Calling all cookie lovin’ kid bakers!

Great American Downtown invites you to share your favorite cookie recipe with us, in our very first NOM NOM NOVEMBER KIDS’ COOKIE CONTEST!

Winners will be chosen, and those recipes will be baked and featured at our downtown bakeries! Imagine your cookies being on sale at Riverwalk Cafe or jajaBelle’s Bakery! Fun!

Winners will have their cookies featured on the menu of those locations, for people to enjoy on National Cookie Day, which is Friday, Dec. 4. The cookies will be prepared by the bakers at the business fresh that day!

You will also receive a special trophy, and be featured on our website and social media!

HOW TO ENTER

Send us an email at CookieContest@downtownnashua.org, with your most delicious cookie recipe, along with a .jpg photo of your finished product.

• Recipes will be put into two age groups: 12 and younger, and teen.
• Recipes from aspiring bakers age 12 and younger must be submitted by the child’s parent/guardian. Please be sure to mention the age and name of the young baker!
• Submissions accepted from Nov. 1–15.

TWO WAYS TO WIN!

ONLINE VOTING: Your recipe and photo will be part of our online voting contest at www.DowntownNashua.org/CookieContest (page will be up and running closer to the voting period). People can vote from Nov. 17–25. The most votes wins!

The top three winners from each of the two age groups will receive a trophy recognizing their achievement! 

JUDGES’ CHOICE: A panel of local judges will choose their favorites in each age category, and one recipe in each age group will be selected and offered on National Cookie Day at one of the participating bakeries.

We’re also going to compile all entries into one terrific recipe booklet,
that will be included in our swag bags being given out to shoppers
on Plaid Friday, downtown Nashua’s answer to Black Friday, this year on Nov. 27. 

The boring fine print for the grown-ups!
