Use your imagination with these classic Vanilla Cut-Out Cookies. Choose any shape that fits your bake sale theme, from stars to ribbons. Then, switch up the icing colors and decorations to create your own designs. Try gold icing, shimmering sprinkles or simple patterns for a special touch.
Bonus recipe: Doggie Cookies
Don’t forget your four-legged friends! These homemade dog treats bake up golden and are a fun way to offer something for every member of the family. Pet owners will love taking home a treat for their furry companion while supporting childhood cancer research.
Add Some Golden Flair
The treats are only part of the fun! Give your bake sale a festive look with plenty of gold decorations. Gold balloons, streamers, tablecloths, ribbons, signs and even gold wrapping for your baked goods can help your fundraiser stand out while spreading awareness.
Encourage your volunteers and customers to wear gold, too! Every splash of gold helps start conversations about childhood cancer and reminds your community why you’re baking.
