Christmas Cookie Challenge Season 5 Episode 3 Christmas Cookie Games

Five bakers compete in the Christmas Cookie Games on season 5 episode 3 of Christmas Cookie Challenge. The pressure is on as the contestants are tasked with creating three different cookies inspired by classic winter games. In the first round, the bakers must create a sugar cookie inspired by ice skating, which they must not only decorate, but also incorporate a unique flavor. One contestant opts for a combination of peppermint and chocolate, while another creates a royal icing with cinnamon and maple.

Next, the bakers must create a stackable cookie tower inspired by sledding. The challenge is not only to create a tasty cookie, but also to balance the tower and make it visually appealing. One contestant struggles with the stability of their tower, while another uses a chocolate ganache to hold their stack together.

Finally, the bakers face the ultimate challenge: creating a gingerbread cookie inspired by a snowball fight. Not only must the cookie be gingerbread, but it must also incorporate a marshmallow in some way. One baker melts the marshmallow onto the cookie to resemble melted snow, while another crafts a snowball from coconut and white chocolate to top the cookie.

Throughout the competition, the judges carefully taste and evaluate each cookie. Host Eddie Jackson challenges the bakers with surprise twists and curveballs, such as allowing them to swap out one ingredient for another or adding an additional layer to the tower. One contestant impresses the judges with their unique flavors and creative designs, while another struggles to execute their concept.

As the competition comes to a close, one baker is crowned the winner and earns the coveted title of Christmas Cookie Champion for this round. The judges provide feedback to each contestant, offering tips and critiques for future competitions. In the end, the Christmas Cookie Games prove to be a challenging and exciting test of each baker's creativity and skill.
