To enter, follow Mother's Cookies' Instagram page, @MothersCookiesUS, and comment and tag a friend on the brand's campaign announcement post. 50 lucky commenters will receive the box, and so will the friend they tag.

Friends and families can get the Mother's at-home Friendship Cookie Kits that come with everything they need to entertain at home and celebrate their inner baker. The kits will be available starting July 30 at 12:01 a.m. ET – 12:59 p.m. ET on 8/6/20 and will include:    

• Two (2) bags of Mother's® Circus Animal® Cookies – Frosted pink and white, animal-shaped sugar cookies covered with colorful rainbow sprinkles. These fun, festive, vanilla-flavored shortbread cookies offer the delicious combination of a crunchy cookie topped with sweet frosting and sprinkles.

"As a little girl, I grew up enjoying Mother's cookies," said Melissa Johnson, blogger at Best Friends for Frosting. "Now, as a mom myself, these cookies are a huge hit in our household, which is why I'm so excited to partner with Mother's Cookies to show families different ways they can eat, decorate and bake with these iconic pink and white animal cookies. Best of all, my daughter, Claire, loves hosting virtual playdates and this gives her a great new way to entertain her friends."
