500 Cookies

Back in October, Tyndall Air Force Base's facebook page had over 500 fans, so they offered a competition -- do anything you can think of with the number 500, make a video, and get as many people as you can to "like" your video on their page. If you got the most votes, you won $500. What better idea than to make 500 chocolate chip cookies and pass out plates of them to meet your neighbors on base?

However, 500 cookies is no small feat, so I asked my friend Lisa to help out. Together we made over 550 cookies (because you can't just let the rest of your dough go to waste!) and then proceeded to go door-to-door, passing out friendship on a plate!


We fought hard to get votes over the next couple of weeks, but unfortunately we were beat out by a video with two adorable children... it's hard to beat that. But it came down to the last 20 minutes of voting, and we gave it a good fight. If you were one of the people who voted for us, thank you for your support! We definitely felt loved -- over 580 votes!

We spent over 4 hours baking these suckers!
Our kitchen was very warm that morning!

These were only my batches... the video link shows all 500+ cookies at once!
