“Decided to be extra this Eid and prepare enough cookies to share with family, friends and neighbors. I literally baked hundreds of cookies. Took my kids to deliver to all the neighbors and no one answered the door one neighbor we caught outside flatly told us she gave up cookies for Lent. It was awkward and discouraging lol but more cookies for us then?”
“A few weeks ago, I was making a batch of cookies (as I often do) and threw in an extra tray’s worth, mostly because I had the butter out and wasn’t in the mood to put it away. Once they’d cooled, I wrapped some up, walked across the street, and handed them to my neighbor. No special reason. I just said “hi, I made cookies.” Her eyes lit up like she’d won a prize (seriously, how incredible is that?).”
