Deck The Halls Community Service Cookie Exchange

Join Seneca County Cornell Cooperative Extension to help make the holidays merrier for local seniors!

Thursday, December 7th 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM Seneca County CCE Office (308 Main Street Shop Centre, 3rd floor, Waterloo)

• Build a ginger bread house with candy, frosting and all the other yummy trimmings. The ginger bread houses built will be delivered to a local nursing home on December 8th, or can be delivered to your favorite senior relatives personally. 4-H will be providing all the supplies for the ginger bread houses, just your creativity is needed. This is open to all ages, including non-4-Hers. We encourage adults to accompany young children, ages 5 to 7 years.
• Simultaneously, we will be hosting a community cookie exchangewith a healthy twist. We want you to get creative and experiment with swapping out unhealthy ingredients for healthier ingredients, like replacing apple sauce for sugar. A healthy options handout will be available on the CCE website which list ingredients and swap out conversions. The idea is to bake a dozen cookies and you will get a dozen new cookies. Please bring the recipes on a 3×5 index card and a container to carry home your treats. All the recipes will be displayed online at a future date.
