If you were looking for information regarding becoming a part of the Cookie Brigade for PAX East 2015 or you're just curious about what we're all about then you're in the right place. We're gearing up for PAX East 2015 and looking forward to trying to smash last East's fundraising total of $19,000!
If you're not already registered on the Cookie Brigade website please do so ASAP! WHO WE ARE:
The Cookie Brigade is a ragtag group of Penny Arcade Forumers who have assembled since PAX 2007 to provide our fellow gamers with delicious baked goods! Cookies are baked by forumers, brought and shipped from afar by forumers, and distributed by forumers!
The Cookie Brigade does not sell cookies. We give cookies away for free.
Brigadiers also accept donations to Child's Play, which are entirely voluntary and greatly appreciated!
And it's very convenient to get a cookie and give a donation at the same time.
Starting in 2007, the Cookie Brigade began a mission to give these cookies in exchange for donations to Child's Play, the charity started by Mike and Jerry that provides entertainment to kids in children's hospitals. Since starting on this mission, the Cookie Brigade has raised over $88,000 mostly by the handing out of cookies and the reception of donations from the incredible, amazing, and generous PAX community! In 2014 alone we've raised over $46,000 for Child's Play! Woooooot! Thank you everyone for your generous donations; you have helped an awesome cause!

And just because you aren't attending a pax, doesn't mean you can't contribute. Bakers can always ship cookies to a local!
Hail Cookie Brigade!

I forget which pax it was, but I did do a small number of funzies with Reese's in them. The problem is that Reese's cost more than Oreos. And the mini Reese's that you can get a bunch per bag are just too tall. I can look for a big bag though and make a small batch.
yeah it was in the diversity room
ALL OF THEM
Seriously though, however many you can handle. We always need more cookies.
I don't bake very often (seriously, is there a PAX Burrito Brigade?) but I've got an awesome recipe for vegan trashcan cookies that I've wanted to try out.
Put it in your ear holes.

This is in reference to mochi. I made several flavors one year, green tea, original, strawberry, orange, and coffee. Maybe one other flavor.

Looking for Edith Finch Pin!
I was a last-minute distributor/cookie-procurer last year and it was a ton of fun!
Hoping to do it again this year.
Witty signature comment goes here...

The first (and easiest) place to find us will be at the Westin game night in Thursday. We'll have a spot right next to the game night check in table. During pax, follow our twitter (@cookie_brigade) to see where we are and get pics of cookies and PAXers being awesome. You can also tweet at us (mention that account or use #cookiebrigade) to request cookies and we'll try to send someone to you.
I'm about to go retweet pics of all the deliciousness out bakers have been creating. Again, @cookie_brigade.
See you in a couple days!
If so, it's amazing how cookie-like they turned out!
We raised over $21,000 this weekend. Thank you so much to everyone for helping make that happen. We love being able to support Child's Play this way!
