One of my favorite things about the holidays is the excuse to make and eat cookies. So I was really happy to share this great campaign that Allrecipes launched to help give back to the community! Cookies Across America is asking bakers to take the pledge to “bake a difference” in the month of December by baking and sharing cookies with those less fortunate.

Will you join in and take the pledge on the Cookies Across America Facebook page and show your support on your own blog?

If you want to have even more fun, host a Cookie Exchange with your friends! Ask everyone to bring a few dozen holiday cookies, add icing and festive touches. Then wrap them up for donation and give them to a local food pantry, emergency shelter, senior center, lunch program, or other community agency. Wouldn’t that be a fun way to share some love this holiday season?
