We received a "Thank You"

Monday morning, I woke up to find an email from the soldier that we sent our cookies to! It definitely made my day and I know it made theirs!



**It of course did come looking like this, but I didn't want to just copy and paste text, so I made it look "pretty"**

On a sidenote- I mailed our package on Wednesday and he received it on Monday! So I thought that was really quick!

Our first round...

Here is what my mom and I made for our first round of Operation Baking Gals!



Homemade Toffee with nuts! Yum!








I sealed it to make sure it stayed hard and fresh for our troops!







Oatmeal Toffee Cookies-

This was the first time my mom and I made this cookie... and let me tell you it was YUMMY! If we weren't careful I don't think we would have had enough to send to our troops! HAHA!








Here they are all wrapped up and labeled.







Peanut Butter Cookies-

Just your normal peanut butter cookies, nothing special, but still tasty!










Here they are wrapped up in saran wrap and labeled.









Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies-

These weren’t what we had planned… we were going to make PB Pudgies but for some reason the PB center did not want to come together after 2 tries so we came up with these to use up all the chocolate dough we had. We actually really liked them! Not too bad for a mistake!




Again, here they are wrapped and labeled.








M&M Cookies-

We made these instead of regular chocolate chip so that the chocolate would not melt everywhere when they shipped. They were YUM!







Wrapped, labeled, and ready to go!












Our Box-

Here is our box that we shipped. We included a picture of ourselves, some postcards of Mill Creek Park (which is near my house), a thank you note, and a picture of my dog, Bella (just because she makes me smile and I think she would make others smile as well).


My mom and I really enjoyed doing this. I really feel that it is such a small thing we can do for all that they are sacrificing for us! We hope to lead a team for the next couple of months!
Thanks for looking!!
