When my husband taught Air Force ROTC at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University at Daytona Beach, Florida, I used to play mom to the 300+ cadets. That included baking them cookies every week. They would devour all the goodies I brought in. They always asked me for these morsels of comfort food to remind them of home.
I was asked to help with one of their many fundraisers. So I created a new cookie, and they held a contest to name this cookie. There were many entries, but the winner was Chocolate Air Power Dreams. After that, I baked this cookie for them quite often, and they always disappeared within a couple of hours.
Nowadays, when I bake some Dreams, I always think fondly of all my 'kids' and miss them terribly. By now, most are promising Lieutenants in the U.S. Air Force.
Happy munching!
