Congratulations to Mary Gallagher in Goose Creek, S.C. Here new Moravian cookie flavor – Brown Butter Pecan – is the winner of Salem Baking Company’s contest! Mary says the flavor was inspired by a pecan tree she once had in her yard.
As the winner of the contest Mary will receive a year’s supply of Salem Baking Company’s Moravian Cookies, and the first batch of her new Brown Butter Pecan cookies when they are produced later this year.
Thanks to those who entered more than 3000 new flavor ideas!
