Miracle Cookie!™
Looks and tastes
like an ordinary cookie,
but has no calories -- and it's HUGE!
Available only

As most long-time members of our church already
know, the Miracle Cookie™ was invented by King Street master
baker Ima Hoax in 1883 and first exhibited at the Great Danbury
Fair. Ima's top-secret recipe has been entrusted to our
quizmaster, who bakes the quiz prizes every month in his own
kitchen with the shades drawn.
