when you think about the "camp food" of your youth
things like spam and vienna sausages might come to mind
but not at young life camp
delicious fresh baked bread, muffins, cookies, pazookie and more every day...in fact two desserts a day
but my personal favorite as well as the baker intern maggie's is the jumbo snickerdoodle cookie, served after taco salad on day two of camp
after much arm-twisting and begging i have the recipe
two versions, first one makes 910 cookies and second one makes 12 cookies...you might want to go somewhere in between!

1/16 of a cup?
I do like camp snickerdoodles
and big fat rice krispy treats (ususally, unless it is the very first week and the kitchen does not have the process quite right and then they are dry, but I still eat them)
