Cookie Crunch, sponsored by the Osan Officers Spouses Club, is a program to give each unaccompanied member on base a bag of a dozen cookies. That's 4,348 dozen, or 52,176 cookies in all. In order to rise to the occasion, volunteers from the OSC, 51st Security Forces Squadron, 51st Maintenance Squadron, 51st Supply Squadron, gospel choir, 607th Air Support Squadron, and many others have been baking cookies every Tuesday and Thursday evening at the commissary bakery for the past two months. There are so few of us who are here with our spouses. You have to figure that between Halloween and now these women have been making four dozen cookies a night.
Every week there's cookie dough to make.
Some of the cookies made include the old standbys like chocolate chip, sugar, peanut butter and oatmeal with raisin. But not all fit the mold. These people are making a lot of cookies, and after a while you get experimental. But the whole project would have crumbled to pieces without the support of the commissary. The volunteers buy the materials themselves, but anything we need while cooking, like flour or sugar, they let us use.
