Because the first concern of the prison is safety and security, there are STRICT guidelines that must be followed – even regarding the task of cookie making. Please note that the requirements listed below are not meant to thwart you; they are intended to assure that all residents are treated equally and that no harm befalls them, the prison officials, or those going into the facility. For a printable version of these guidelines click here.
Note: Agape Cookie Recipes are available on this site.
· Acceptable types are chocolate chip, peanut butter, molasses, ginger, sugar, and oatmeal.
· Do not use any fruit (including raisins), nuts, candy (including M&M’s), icing, or sprinkles.
· Please think about healthy recipes as many of the residents have serious health concerns, including diabetes.
– Cookies should be 2 – 2 ½ inches in diameter and about ½ in thick. Cookies must be round and fairly plain, no other shapes or decoration.
· Please let cookies completely cool before placing in quart-sized zip-lock freezer bags, 1 dozen per bag. If cookies are placed in the bag while still warm they gel together and become difficult to use.
· Label the type of cookies in the bag.
· After packaging, the cookies can be frozen if they are not going to be used in the next three days. Cookies can be brought to the Multi-purpose room on the following dates during the Church School hour.
