Canby Grove Cookie Bake
Special thank you to DirectLink for sponsoring this wonderful family community event.

Canby Grove Christian Center
Dinning Hall
Come Join us for our 7th Annual Cookie Bake at Canby Grove. The Cookie Bake is an opportunity to take care of your holiday cooking needs, baking with friends and family in a festive atmosphere, cooking and frosting dozens of cookies at a time and no mess to clean. Limited reservations are available so you will want to sign-up begore they are all filled. Pre-Payment of your dough is required for your reservation to be held.
Our cookie dough and frosting are “homemade” in our commercial kitchen. We use butter instead of Crisco for both our frosting and our dough, and we use pure vanilla. A commercial convection oven with many racks is used to bake the cookies faster than a home oven.
Come join us for a fun, festive day with family and friends, celebrating the Christmas season and baking cookie gifts with love.
How it Works:
• All dough must be pre-purchased online with a debit or credit card. Click on the button above or below to purchase dough and reserve table time.
• A 2-hour block of time must be reserved at the time of dough purchase to have a table held for you.
• Come to Canby Grove Dinning Hall (signs will point the way) on December 8, 9 or 10, for the time slot you have reserved.
• Bring friends or family to help you roll and cut out cookies. (Tables hold up to a maximum 6 people helping to roll out dough although 4 would leave more room.)
• Dough and frosting that you ordered and pre-paid ahead of time will be waiting for you.
• Roll out and cut cookies, place them on a cookie sheet and give them to a staff member to cook for you.
• Take two more trays and keep rolling and cutting while your other cookies are baking.
• When cookies are baked your cookie sheet will be brought out on a cooling rack for you to retrieve and frost.
• You may stay and frost your cookies for an hour after your 2-hour block baking time.
• Table space is limited and reserved on a first come first serve basis with paid cookie dough. (The cost of Cookie dough is the same whether you stay and bake cookies or take the dough home to bake.)
