Dorothy never met a cookie she didn’t like, and with that in mind we welcome all bakers to bake a dozen in her honor!
And IF you choose, please bring your cookies to share at her wake. All cookies will be appreciated and none will go to waste! Cookies will be shared (following in Dorothy’s footsteps): at her church’s coffee hour (where she lead coffee hour for many years!), with “the old people” as she would often say, and at the soup kitchen (as she herself did for years).
