Will yours be the 10,000th cookie?

Looking for a way to do something sweet for others during these pre-holiday weeks...and have fun at the same time with a group of family, friends or colleagues?

Host a Drop In & Decorate event. Bake, decorate and donate cookies to a shelter, food pantry or nonprofit agency that helps people in your community.

The non-profit bake-decorate-and-donate-cookies program was started in 2002 by Lydia Walshin, a Rhode Island food writer I met at a BlogHer conference a few years ago.

Drop In & Decorate will donate its 10,000th cookie sometime, somewhere in the US or Canada in the next few months.

This year Lydia is hoping to have Drop In & Decorate events in all 50 states, throughout Canada, and beyond. Here's more information if you're interested in hosting a cookie decorating and donating event, as well as a few recipes you can use.

Believe me, it's a fun way to make good memories, and do good things for others, as well.

Just imagine the smiles on the faces of children who each receive the gift of a beautiful cookie you made...

Jan, thanks so much for helping to spread the word about Drop In & Decorate. Wouldn't it be fun if one of your readers decorated the 10,000th cookie?
