August Recipe
August’s Baking Challenge Recipe is Shortbread Cookies. These cookies are rich and buttery with a melt-in-your-mouth texture. They are truly delicious! Make this recipe your own by adding citrus zest or dipping in chocolate.
Alternative Baking Challenge: Prefer a different recipe? Not a problem. Since this challenge is still new, you can choose any other recipe from Windy City Baker. There are lots of recipes of different difficulty levels. You will still be qualified to win the prizes if you follow challenge requirements (i.e., taking a photo and sending it to me in an email).

August 2021 Baking Challenge FAQ
How does the Baking Challenge Work?
At the beginning of every month, I will publish a Baking Challenge recipe and a separate post with the new challenge instructions and an announcement of the winner from the previous month.
To enter the challenge, make the recipe at any point during the month and then share a photo of your bake with me via email. I will post your pictures on my blog to show off your amazing accomplishments.
At the end of the month, I will randomly select winners for the available prizes.
How Do I Enter the Baking Challenge?
After making the recipe, take a photo of your bake and share it with me via email at [email protected]. This is required to be entered into the challenge.
For a bonus entry, leave a comment or review on the challenge recipe.
I Don’t Live in the USA. Can I Participate?
Anyone can participate.
How is the Winner Chosen?
I will keep track of the entries and will randomly select 1 winner per prize at the end of the month. Don’t worry about taking the perfect photo. This is a baking challenge (not a photography challenge).
When is the Winner Announced?
The Baking Challenge winner will be announced on the 1st of the month following the challenge (e.g., the July Baking Challenge winner will be announced on August 1st) and will be sent an email.
The winner must reply within 2 business days or a new winner will be chosen.

No. Participation is completely voluntary.
