Additionally, all tour participants will receive a keepsake collectors ornament, intended to be the first in a collection of Cookie Tour ornaments to be distributed in years hereafter. To top it off, tour goers will take home recipes for the treats featured on the tour, creating a keepsake collection of tested holiday cookies and candy recipes to use at home.
