To help inspire bakers with cookie decorating and gifting ideas this season, Krusteaz and members of the Baker's Dozen, including lifestyle expert Jenn Sbranti of Hostess with the Mostess, are helping bakers "Spread Cookie Joy" in a variety of ways across social media.

Krusteaz will reveal a unique cookie recipe and gift idea on Twitter every day throughout December. For those looking for more baking and gifting tips and Krusteaz prizes, a #SpreadCookieJoy Twitter Party will be held on December 14 from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm EST.

Beginning on December 3, the cookie fun continues throughout the month with a virtual holiday cookie decorating party on www.Krusteaz.com/cookiejoy, featuring festive cookie recipes and inspiration, fun hack videos and how-to's from the Baker's Dozen.

Krusteaz fans are also encouraged to tag their funniest, messiest, jolliest cookie decorating moments with #SpreadCookieJoy #sweepstakes on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook to be featured on the Krusteaz website and social channels. Krusteaz will sprinkle some extra sugar on their favorites -- awarding weekly winners with festive cookie decorating kits, gift packs with cookie mixes and baking tools, and even deck their halls with the grand prize, a $500 gift card.

Though the Krusteaz Cookie Mix line is extensive, seasonal picks for the holidays include Shortbread, Snickerdoodle, Butter Vanilla Sugar, Gingerbread and new favorite Oatmeal Scotchie. Served as dessert or shared at a holiday party or packaged as a holiday gift, these easy and versatile mixes are the perfect simple ways to spread joy this season.
