Team Tinker Operation Cookie Drop

12/15/2025

Today was the day! Volunteers came together to bake with heart for our dorm Airmen and Sailors, and thanks to this incredible effort, over 5,000 homemade cookies were collected and distributed to dorm residents here at Tinker AFB!
This mission would not have been possible without the overwhelming support from our community at Tinker AFB and Oklahoma City. From baking to assembling, every helping hand made a difference.
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who volunteered their time, ovens, and love. This is what community looks like 💕

The base of this cookie recipe is the butter cookie recipe that I’ve made with my mom every Christmas since I was teeny tiny! If you don’t have the time or energy to do the chocolate and honeycomb portion of this recipe, I recommend just making the butter cookies and calling it a day!
