Habitat’s Annual Holiday Cookie Walk Baker/Volunteer Information

It is the weekend immediately following Thanksgiving and Black Friday, so the day will sneak up on us very quickly. Don’t forget – many types of cookies freeze well, so feel free to bake now and freeze to get ahead of the holiday rush!

Below is some information for bakers:

  • We request 6 dozen per cookie variety
  • While we appreciate all cookies, we really strive to make the selection special, so please make your best homemade cookies for this sale! Special, out of the ordinary cookies are always appreciated! (International varieties, thumbprints, Linzer tarts, gluten free, etc.)
  • Kindly review the safety guidelines from the Tompkins County Health Department 
  • Please include a full list of ingredients for the cookies you bake (in case of allergies – see safety guidelines)
  • Please use containers that can be recycled (like a shirt box) for your cookie donation, as these containers will NOT be returned to you
  • Please use any of the convenient drop off locations listed to the right for early drop-off on Friday, if you are unable to bring them to the event itself
  • It’s wonderful if you can let us know ahead of time what you’re baking! Email cookiewalk@tchabitat.com
