Baby Yoda Valentine’s Day Cookies to Support Cookies for Kids Cancer
Baking for a cause makes cookies that much sweeter. Add in Baby Yoda and you have a winning combination!
Every year I help my friend Julie at The Little Kitchen with her annual Good Cookies Food Bloggers’ Valentine’s Event, where food bloggers show their support by helping to raise funds and awareness of childhood cancers for Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. This year with the added ongoing pandemic, children are still being diagnosed with cancer and it’s imperative now more than ever that we raise awareness and continue to raise funds to fund the ongoing pediatric cancer research.
This year I decided to make Baby Yoda aka Grogu cookies because he is a child after all, and this cause is especially important for all the kids battling cancer.
Our goal is to raise at least $3000. Because these three companies: OXO, Mediavine amd Dixie Crystals have each pledged to match our donations raised through this campaign up to $3000! That means when we raise $1, it turns into $4!
Please help us reach our goal, donate here today so we can get the full matching donations and make a difference!
Be sure to check out all the amazing treats the other baking blog participants have made for this great cause.
