2 days ago I did something so easy that I know you have time to do it! I made some cookies and brought them to the police department. It costs no more than ten dollars! I've had this one on the calendar for awhile now, but to be honest it kept getting pushed to the side. I had the ingredients but "not the time." I finally decided "no time" will turn into "being in college and missed opportunity" so today was the day. I was planning on going to my grandma's house in the afternoon so I brought my cookie mix there. When I got there I turned on the oven, got a mixing pan out and started mixing. Within 5 minutes I was already putting the cookies on the tray to go in the oven. They took about 9 minutes to make and were ready when the timer buzzed! I had one more batch to put in once the others finished and they finished perfectly as well. I gave them about 2 minutes to cool and then they were ready to be wrapped on the plate. After that I wrote a quick letter to thank the police department which only took a minute. Now, I'm sure you're wondering why did I have to tell you the exact amount of time it took to do every little thing. Well that was simply because I wanted to encourage you that you really do have time and can do it! It only took around 30 minutes at most to make an entire batch of cookies, cooled and wrapped and while they were baking I had time to clean everything up! My grandma went with me to the police station (which because it's local only took 15 minutes at the most.) They were very grateful and the lady said they would enjoy them :) While we were leaving we saw an ambulance from a different township bringing in Dunkin Donuts and I thought that was so neat to see! It really doesn't take that much time to make someone's day and it even brings joy to you :) CHALLENGE: I would like to challenge you with the Cookie Giving Challenge (I may have just made it up but together we can make it a thing!) The next time you shop for groceries pick up a easy batch of cookie mix (make sure you have butter and an egg too) and make some cookies next week. Remember there is no excuse to say you have no time! You can bring it anywhere you would like: to your workplace, to a class, to the police station, to a fire station, to another workplace, to a gathering, to a neighbor, to a friend, to a stranger, literally to anyone you can think of. With this being said there is no excuse to say you don't know who to give it to because I'm sure there is something or someone by you or on your way to somewhere that you can bring it. The final excuse may be someone else will do it, but sadly that isn't usually true and YOU can make someone's day. Once you make some cookies fill out the form below and let me know you did it! If you want to send a picture of your beautiful cookies, send me an email! Let's see how many cookies we can give out!! My goal is 1,000 cookies and I know we can do it! With mine we have 24/1000! We can do it, YOU can do it!! Share this with your friends! I really hope you'll consider doing this. Together we can make so many people happy :)
