Operation Baking Gals Round 31 – Join my team!

It’s been a while since I have hosted an Operation Baking Gals team. But I’m back and I hope you’ll join me this round! If you know someone who is deployed and would like for me to sponsor them, please email me.

If you’ve never heard of Operation Baking Gals, check out the website. Basically, a team of bakers get together to send goodies to soldiers stationed overseas. Even non-bakers sign up in the fun to send care packages. Then the soldier being sponsored by a team shares all their goodies with his/her buddies. The shipping dates for Round 31 are June 1-11.

This round, Team Beantown Baker will be sponsoring a friend of mine named Nate. Nate was born in Hawaii and then moved all over because his father was in the Army. His family has settled in the Seattle area and he has two brothers and a sister. Nate enjoyed reading, running, and cooking. Nate is currently on his first deployment until November of this year.

Please consider joining Team Beantown Baker to send goodies to Nate in Afghanistan. I will be doing a roundup at the end of the round, so be sure to send me any info/pics that you want included in the roundup. Email me if you have any questions.

If you’d like to join my team,
1) go to http://www.bakinggals.com/ and Log In or Create a New Account
2) go to Join a Round 31 Team (shipping dates are June 1-11)
3) join Team Beantown Baker to bake for Nate (if the team is full at 20 people signed up, please consider signing up for another team)
4) wait for an email with the shipping address

If you have any questions, check out the Operation Baking Gals FAQ page.

You can get a special flat rate box from the US Post Office. The boxes are FREE and you can ship the box with anything in it for a flat rate of $11.95. They are specifically for APO/FPO addresses and say “America Supports You” on them. How cool is that!

    I’m trying these cookies for the first time and froze 1/2 the batch for later. How do you bake after freezing? Do you defrost and then bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes? or go straight from the freezer to oven and just bake longer? Thanks for the recipe!

    Katherine – I’ve never froze the cookies, but my mother in law does it all the time. She said she puts them on a cookie sheet and lets them defrost on the counter for about 15 minutes before baking them as usual.
