An upstate New York town has rallied 'round the ovens, baking 6,600 cookies that were mailed Tuesday to members of the military deployed overseas.
The head of the Hyde Park Chamber of Commerce, Liz Rogers, says the 550 dozen chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies were all made on Monday in "The Great Cookie Bake Off" for the troops.
The care packages included notes from children and adult volunteers and disposable cameras to be mailed back, so the bakers can see the troops enjoying their treats.
Rogers' only has one regret; "I wish we could have sent them milk."
Volunteers included a children's cooking school, The Young Chef's Academy; Coppola's Italian-American Restaurant; the Anderson Center for Autism and the Poughkeepsie Moose Lodge.
