#BakeWithHeart using Becel Anything Goes Cookie Dough #BecelAd

This post was sponsored by Becel. 

During the holidays, I find myself baking and sharing homemade goodies a little more than we usually do during the rest of the year! There's something about the holiday season that inspires me to get creative in the kitchen and bake for my loved ones. So when I heard Becel is helping Canadians #BakewithHeart and Gift with Love this holiday season by offering a single, customizable Becel Anything Goes Cookie Dough recipe that guarantees soft and chewy cookies, I knew I had to get in on the action. I tried this recipe and love the results! It is easy to make and the cookies turn out fabulous, which makes these cookies the perfect homemade gift to give our loved ones. 

When I bake, I find using Becel® margarine instead of butter makes the process faster and the goodies taste delicious. It's easy to replace butter with Becel® margarine 1:1 in any of our favourite holiday baking recipes, but the best part is that it is ready to use straight from the fridge! As an added bonus, it's free from artificial preservatives, flavours and colours and is made from a simple blends of plant and seed oils.

Allergy-Friendly Treats from Enjoy Life Foods

Snacking on packaged treats can be difficult especially for those who face food allergies; packaged treats mean an in-depth label scan at the grocery store, and snacks prepared by others require a list of ingredients.  If you're in a time crunch, at work, or at school, the vending machine is a bit risky and the availability of safe snacks can be a real dilemma.
