Kelly Carrington Staff Writer The Chemo Crew is selling cookies once a week at the Flin Flon General Hospital to help raise money for a great cause. Gloria Brown and Claudette Pachal have been selling ginger snaps at the hospital to help raise money and awareness for the Relay For Life. The 12-hour relay will take place in Creighton at the ball diamond, as it did two summers ago, on Sept. 7. The Chemo Crew is just one of the teams ready to take part. The team has been selling the cookies for the past 10 weeks and had brought in $1,548 as of last Thursday. This sale will continue as long as the cookies are made and people are buying. Made by Pachal, the ginger snaps have become a popular snack at the hospital and the Chemo Crew wants to share their recipe: Ginger Snaps - 1 1/2 C Margarine - 2 C White Sugar - 1 C Molasses - 2 Eggs - 41/2 C Flour - 4 tsp Baking Soda - 1 tsp Salt - 1 tsp Ginger - 2 tsp Cinnamon - 1 tsp Cloves - Cream margarine and sugar. Add eggs and molasses, beating well. Sift in dry ingredients and mix well. Roll in balls then roll in white sugar. Do not press down. They will flatten and crack on the top during baking.
