Holy cookies, Batman!

I am exhausted!  I just made about 15 dozen cookies.  In a few hours.  My back hurts.  My feet hurt.  However, it's all for a good cause, so I'm ok with it.  Tamara wrote home from her mission last week soliciting for help with a service project.  She and her companion want to give out plates of cookies to people for Christmas, but they don't have time to make all those cookies.  So, she asked for people to send her already-baked cookies that she could plate and pass out, spreading Christmas cheer to the good people of Yuma, Arizona.  :o)

So, I am doing service to help someone else give service.  How cool is that?!  Way to pay it forward!

Here are some of the leftovers that didn't fit in the boxes.

Boxes full of cookies and a few Christmas presents :o)

I decided to make four kinds:  Funfetti, red velvet with white chocolate chips, vanilla cookie with chocolate chips, and dark chocolate fudge cookie with peanut butter chips.  Yum!  They were all fairly easy because they were all made with cake mixes.  My official taste-tester, Dave, selflessly risked his life for the good of everyone who will eat the cookies and has deemed the cookies safe to eat.  ;o)

I'm grateful for the opportunity to do service, but I'm now glad to be headed to my warm bed! 

P.S.  Thanks to everyone else who sent cookies to help Tamara with the Christmas gift she wants to give the people she loves down in Yuma!
