Event recap: Senior center cookie bake!

Event recap: Senior center cookie bake!

Published on October 03, 2025

Menlo Park Senior Center visitors had a great time baking flourless peanut butter cookies, lemon cookies, and sugar cookies this past Wednesday. The activity brought back years of good memories for the participants while celebrating a shared love for one of our favorite treats! Later that day, the cookies were served at the senior center's daily luncheon. The reviews are in - the cookies were delicious! (And so was the lunch.)
