Cornhole Cookies

 

It "takes a village," or at least a block, of hard working, dedicated friend to organize a successful block party that is a summer tradition in many Chicago neighborhoods.  My niece, Jody, organizes a wonderful event every year and is grateful for the help she receives from many of her neighbors.  She asked me if I could make "Cornhole Cookies" for a senior citizen who constructs a game every year to be used as a raffle prize.  At the age of 86 he even volunteered to be in the dunk tank!

No matter how old I get, I am always learning . . . I had no idea this game was called "Cornhole," I thought it was bean bag toss.
