Cookies have a special place in the hearts of many. They\u2019re often a young tot\u2019s first introduction to the wonderful world of sweets, they\u2019re a staple at every holiday gathering, and there\u2019s even a famous monster who personified our collective love for the stuff. Its uncooked counterpart, cookie dough, has made a big splash in the fundraising world<\/a> in the last few years, even edging out the ubiquitous candy bar as the most popular and successful fundraiser item. Its runaway success has us wondering: what is it about cookie dough?<\/p>\n

1) Baking Cookies: a Timeless Family Tradition<\/h2>\n

Cookies have always been synonymous with wholesome family time. So many memories are contained in those sweet circles of gooey goodness, that the mere aroma of a fresh baked batch can evoke nostalgic feelings of childhood bliss. But what is it that makes cookies so special?<\/p>\n

Making memories to last a lifetime<\/h3>\n

More than any other food, cookies have a magic ability to bring families together. From learning from your older sibling how to properly dunk your cookies in milk, to helping cut out and decorate holiday sugar cookies, to finally being trusted with Grandma\u2019s famous secret recipe, there\u2019s something about baking cookies that says \u201chome\u201d.<\/p>\n

If you want to make lasting memories for your family, it\u2019s advised to start in the kitchen. It is well known that the sense of smell is closely linked with memory, more so than any of the other senses. This makes fresh-baked cookies the perfect add-on to family games or movie night. Plus, by baking cookies as a family, you\u2019re not only sharing a special moment together, you\u2019re leaving an indelible mark in your children\u2019s memories, ensuring that any ensuing whiff of oven-fresh goodies will lead their thoughts back to this special time with you.<\/p>\n

Baking cookies together is a great teaching opportunity as well. Not only are you passing down recipes and know-how, you\u2019re also giving a lesson in math and chemistry, as well as in patience and cooperation. And don\u2019t forget family history: perhaps your mixing bowl is a family heirloom, passed down through generations; or maybe you have fond memories of baking with your own parents as a child. Teaching children to bake cookies is an easy way to positively shape young minds \u2013 with a sweet reward at the end.<\/p>\n

The rise of premade cookie dough<\/h3>\n

While we all wish we had unlimited time to bake cookies from scratch on the regular, the reality is that most families have jam-packed schedules, with limited quality time to spend as a family. Premade cookie dough allows you to enjoy both the ritual of baking and the incomparable taste and texture of fresh-baked cookies, but in a fraction of the time.<\/p>\n

This is part of what makes JustFundraising\u2019s cookie dough fundraisers such a huge hit. We offer a versatile range of products<\/a> in varying formats, including dry mix, scoop-and-bake, and place-and-bake, to accommodate even the busiest of families.<\/p>\n
