I know its November 4th but I'm going to ask early this year. We're going to do our fundraiser "Toys for Tots" again this year and we're doing a cookbook again to sell at the final fund raiser..December 1st. With the holiday's approaching and I'll be out of town most of Thanksgiving week, I need to get started so.. Can you, any and all send me at least one recipe for the cookbook. We don't do it really fancy. I kind of type up the recipes and decorate each page with some kind of decoration, we make copies and put them in a small binder thingy and sell them. We raise money for children who's Mom's are in the shelter for abused women. These kids usually don't have such a hot Christmas anyway and we just try to help the along with that. Food and toys and clothes. So please, if you can send me at least one or many recipes I would really appreciate it. You can email them to me at emptynestatgmaildotcom. Thanks in advance..really.
I'm going to e-mail you a PDF of a cookie recipe that was the first cookies I ever remember making with my Mom. Snickerdoodles are always my contribution to my grown-up holiday cookie exchanges. For years I used recipes I found online. Not long ago, my sister found one of Mom's old recipe books and one of the pages bookmarked was for Snickerdoodles. She scanned the page and sent me the PDF. I remember that recipe being the one I followed to the T when I could barely reach the countertop standing on a stool ... so I'm guessing it is about 30 years old. The cookbook it came from was compiled as a fundraiser for the local volunteer fire deparment by their woman's auxiliary.

I'm in. I think I might send a couple of sugar free cookie recipes. They are really good and besides, you want to make sure even those who might have diabetes can enjoy the sweets of Christmas, right? I'll get back to you tomorrow ... don't have time to hunt them up today.
