Connect with a local agency that serves adults and children, and that would like the gift of cookies.Now let's talk about you, and a few things you should know about a Drop In & Decorate event:
It's fun!
It's a wonderful way to bring people together to "give back", without spending a lot of money.
It can be an event for school groups or book groups, neighborhood associations, family reunions, scout troops, or a gathering of friends, OR
It can be you, or you and your significant other, making a dozen cookies and delivering them to your community food bank.
It's fun! (Did I mention that already? Well, I have to say it twice, because it's true.)
Everything you need to know, including how/where to donate your cookies, how to organize a decorating party, where to find supplies, and cookie and icing recipes, is available in our free How to Host Your Own Cookie Decorating Event guide.
This year, to help spread the idea of Drop In & Decorate Cookies for Donation parties, America's oldest flour company, King Arthur Flour, has created a baking kit to get you started. In the kit, you'll find cookie and icing mix (enough for your first batch of large sugar cookies), cookie cutters, pastry bags and icing tips, food coloring and decorating sugar.
