Kairos Cookie Guidelines

Cookie Preparation

The types of cookies that are generally acceptable are:

• Oatmeal
• Peanut Butter
• Molasses
• Chocolate Chip
• Ginger
• Sugar

Cookies should be between 2 inches and 2.5 inches in diameter and not more than 1/2 inch thick.

It is very important not to use icing, sugar or any other type of coating on the outside of the cookie. Do not add any kind of fruit or nuts to the cookies.

The Key Ingredient: Prayer

Pray individually or as a family over the ingredients before and during mixing. Pray over the cookies as you drop them onto the cookie sheets and bake them.

Ask God to use your cookies as a source of His love to shine on the prisoners and staff on the Kairos weekend. Pray that each cookie brings the inmate, officer, or warden who eats it closer to God. We want every person to become part of the family of God.

Packing the Cookies

Bag thoroughly cooled cookies in a gallon sized Zip Lock bag, two dozen cookies to a bag (3 stacks of 8). Label each bag with the cookie type and how many dozen (2). Freeze all cookies if you bake them more than 3 days prior to drop-off. If you bring frozen cookies, put them in the Church freezer - otherwise, set them on the kitchen counter.
