Please allow me to take a break from the usual photo and recipe post to tell you all how fabulous you are!
I only started Joy the Baker about 5 months ago. In those short months, I have connected with fellow food lovers from around the world. The response has been truly heart warming. The praise, support and inspiration has really changed my life.
Thank you! Thank you for visiting so loyally. Thank you for reading, drooling and commenting. Thank you for trying my recipes and telling me about your successes and oopsies. Thank you for all of the laughs and inspiration that you have unknowingly provided me.
The only real way to say thank you is with cookies. These Red Velvet Black and White Cookies have gone off the charts in their popularity on this site. So, three lucky Joy the Baker readers will find these little beauties in their mail boxes- a thank you from me to you! All you have to do is a leave a comment on this post, and I’ll pick at least three random names, ship them off, and you’ll enjoy cookies! Go on, leave me a comment. Tell me something good.
Thanks again for all of your support! It means so much to me!

Hey Joy,I made the mocha coffee coffee cake and my 13 and 16 yr olds loved it! As did all their school friends. Luckily I saved enough for me and hubby! thanks for a great cake. I very much enjoy your writing and baking. and I would do almost anything to get cookies in the mail!
Isn’t the food blogging world the best!!
Joy: I liked your blog when I first came across it, but it was THESE cookies that sealed the deal for me. I’ve forwarded the link to that post to MANY friends.
Keep it up!
YAY for Joy the Baker- my sister has your site linked to her blog(www.foodipity.net) and I first saw these cookies there-
I LOVE LOVE LOVE red velvet and as soon as I can get a break from my two year old and 4 week old, I’ll be trying these!
*Drool… Haha! Those cookies look amazing :D
I would love a cookie because:
A) they look amazing
B) I love your blog and wish I had your talent
C) Am going to be in law school finals hell for the next 2 weeks and cookies just make everything better.
The end.
PS-Thanks for a beautiful blog.
There’s a ying and yang in here somewhere about the value of cookies to the chakras….I know there is. If that doesn’t work, well, they’re just delicious looking, fabulous cookies.
Ahhh food porn my favorite!! Thank you so much for the gorgeous photos it makes my day at work so much brighter to daydream about dessert.
Thank YOU so much for a great blog! I have never had Red Velvet anything, so that would be sweet if I won!
Oh pick me, pick me, pick me! I love your blog and foodography. My black and white cookies are very meh. Yours look delicious. My husband says in your pic you resemble Jennifer Garner (that’s a good thing!)
your blog is awesome!! i recently relocated to north carolina, i am in the land of bbq and deep fried anything. not that there is anything wrong with that, but i need a little more diversity. a cookie, a pastry, a cupcake that’s not from the grocery store!!
Those cookies will always look delish.
Mmmm cookies. If I sing the cookie monster song will it increase my chances of winning? :P
yay!!! cookies!!! I’m dancing around and typing at the same time! Thanks for your great pics, informative posts, and overall positivity!
Yum! I love the ideas that you are willing to share. If only you could do this hourly!
Thank YOU for all the wonderful pictures and recipes! I wandered on this site one day and have never stopped reading. Everything you make looks absolutely delicious.
love this blog. u’re such an inspiration. really, it should be the other way round – thank you for posting such scrumy-licious stuff on the www for me to drool to. ;D
Just wanted to let you know that I have been following your e-mail almost as long as you have been writing and once spent and entire afternoon staring at your pics and great comments…its my top foodie blog to check and am so glad I found it! If you send me cookies, I will have my sister make you the cutest apron you’ll ever wear baking all those goodies!
This is probably the BEST cookie I have EVER seen anywhere!!! It looks AMAZING! Keep up the awesome work, I can’t wait to see what you will create next!!! :D
Oh yeah, if you send me these cookies, I promise I will try them on my eyes like cucumber slices too! I am that much in love with the look of them!
LOVE your stuff!! I’m pregnant so everything looks good — especially the black and white cookies!! :)
I “stumbled” upon your website yesterday and i am in love with it! all your recipes look so good esp these black and white cookies! cant wait for more to come.
I just came back to get another recipe from you and ya-hoo, a contest. I love a good contest and what better then cookies! In fact, thats what I came to get. That shortbread recipe that eats like a twix. Love your recipes, love your blog, and I love your sence of humor. I’m still laughing at the bunny and the corn muffins. Which were excellent by the way. :)
Oh I would be so excited to open my mailbox and find cookies!! I’m feeling lucky.
pick me because those look divine!
So, I have about a million individual pages from your blog bookmarked as recipes for me to try- number one on my list being these black & white cookies. With exams ending in four (!!!) days, I am SO ALL OVER ALL THESE DELICIOUS GOODIES OM NOM NOM.
I’m excited to get to baking! =D
Thanks so much for all the care you put into this site. It’s funny, informative, and drool-worthy.
And I’ll try to pop out of my lurker-hole when there’s not the possibility of homemade cookies more often. ^_______^
No, thank YOU. As an inexperienced teen baker, it helps to have great resources to read.
Keep it up Joy! You are one talented blogger!
I think your blog is so beautiful. I can never wait to see what you will post next!
Thanks for a great blog Joy! It is always exciting to check your blog in the morning and see what yummy creation you have come up with!
We started out blogs at about the same time. Funny huh! I love coming here to see all the amazing things you are making and I really enjoy reading your posts so I am so glad you started doing this. Keep up the great work!
Actually, it would be kind of a big trouble to send the cookies to me because I’m from Buenos Aires (Argentina), so just let me thank YOU for sharing the Joy of baking with us.
Oh Its prob too late to try to win, but I will say I love to see what you have been baking!
I think I’d have to say that your blog is definitely my favorite. I’m dying to make your orange chocolate bundt cake, and these cookies look divine too! Thanks for sharing all your amazing recipes and photos with us! I love it!
Hi Joy!
I love this blog because it’s about all things that I love, dessert and breakfast! I can’t wait to see what you’ve made every day. One question, what do you do with all of the stuff that you bake? I’ve already been called a food pusher at work, but I love to bake. Too bad there are only two of us in my house.
you have inspired me to keep posting. all of your recipes and photos are gorgeous! and would make me break my diet in a heartbeat! (or at least give me a good excuse to try something new) thank you for all the beautiful and yummy inspiration! keep it going!
I stumbled your site, but it’s been added to my favorites. Actually, today I made the lemon whoopie cookies… which where devoured in record time by my friends. I managed to hide all of one for myself. I haven’t decided what I’m going to try next, but it’s probably safe to say that I will slowly work my way through the better part of your recipes.
Thanks!
God, I’m a late-comer to this post, but what can I say? Your blog totally rocks! :D

I love this site. I love to bake. So this is heaven for me. I don’t know where to begin?! Which recipe do I try first?? :)
Thanks!
I made these cookies for my family and they were gone in about ten minutes…and I didn’t even tell anybody! I have so many recipes to thanks you for, this is my favorite website (even better than facebook) and that’s saying a lot. Although my dad scolds me because he says i am making him fat. But wouldn’t the world be better filled with fat happy people rather than skinny picky eaters??
I love you Joy!!! Wish i lived in CA so i could have you make me something! you are amazing!
I just moved to NYC and people here are obsessed with two things: black and white cookies and red velvet cake. These cookies are going to blow my coworkers’ minds.
