National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is observed every October. During the month, awareness is raised about breast cancer. I like to spread the word about breast cancer by baking pink ribbon cookies and giving them to friends and family. Along with the cookies, I give a laminated card on how to do a breast self exam or symptoms of breast cancer.
Ingredients:
  • 1 roll of refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • 1 container of strawberry cake frosting
  • a ribbon cookie cutter
  • rolling pin
  • flour
Preparation:
Roll out cookie dough onto floured surface with rolling pin. Cutout ribbon shapes and place on cookie sheet. Bake according to package directions.

Allow to cool and frost with strawberry cake frosting. If you do not like strawberry, you can use vanilla with a little bit of red food coloring.

Package in cookie boxes with breast cancer information like how to perform a self breast exam or breast cancer symptoms. Give to female friends, family, and co-workers.

Remember: Breast cancer awareness should be celebrated everyday, not just in October!
