SALT LAKE CITY and NEW YORK, June 19 /PRNewswire/ --
WHAT: The entries are in ... cookie-bakers from across the country are
finding out if their recipes made the cut in the Mrs. Fields and iVillage
Search for the 30th Anniversary Cookie Contest -- and the competition is
HOT.
This year marks the 30th Anniversary of Mrs. Fields, and to celebrate,
America's favorite cookie maker has teamed with iVillage.com for the first-
ever online user-generated "cookie bake off." Bakers around the country
submitted their best recipes -- everything from Chocolate Oaties to Fruity
Lemon Cream Flurries -- in the hopes of being the inspiration behind the
next great Mrs. Fields cookie. Now Mrs. Fields Baking Experts, with help
from more than 4,000 online votes, have narrowed down the entries.
