Santa’s favorite cookie

Visit local Christie Cookie bakeries during December to sample Santa’s favorite cookie and support Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. Christie Cookie hosted a community-wide contest for children to submit a recipe for what they thought would be Santa’s favorite cookie. The winning recipe was called Santa’s Pre-Flight Cookie and includes espresso to give him energy needed to deliver toys all night. Proceeds from this specialty cookie will benefit Monroe Carell. Additionally, specialty tins of assorted cookies also benefit Monroe Carell. See those tins here.
