Our church has planned a “cookies for soldiers” event for the soldiers of Battalion 2-116 FAR. 95% of these soldiers are from the county in which we live. Each soldier will receive 1-1/2 dozen homemade cookies. Cool! This evening I made several dozen cookies and I’ll be bringing them tomorrow, along with hopefully many others, to fulfill the request for 563 dozen cookies! That’s a lot of sugar! lol
I didn’t want to make the typical chocolate chip cookie because I feared a lot of others might. Rather, I made what might be the second most common (or would it be sugar cookies?) – Oatmeal Raisin. In fact, these soft little sweeties are probably my favorite kind of cookie!
The cookies were only supposed to be 2″ wide (really tough), packaged in cling wrap & foil in groups of 6 with a label indicating the type of cookie. No one gets just one dozen out of a batch of cookies, so I ended up packaging 3 dozen (with more left over). It’s such an honor to be a part of this and I’m sure the soldiers will ‘gobble’ them up! (thanksgiving pun…lol)
