All The Good Cookies by Gretchen Holt-Witt

The key to a successful bake sale? Stock your table with the most tempting and irresistible homemade cookies you can find. All the Good Cookies is just what you need for all your summer bake sales, and it comes with an extra bonus: every copy sold benefits Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. This charity has raised thousands for pediatric cancer research through community bake sales — a testament to the power of a really good cookie when combined with a really good cause.

No matter what cause you are raising money to support through your bake sale, these stories will inspire you.
