Origami Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Each week at my church, a local college supplies both students to help out this the service and also provides food for the fellowship meal.  One of the items they bring is a batch of these delicious oatmeal raisin cookies.

During a recent boring conference call at work, I folded this small origami box, made from 8 sheets of paper.  I realized that it is the right size for a small cookie gift box (holds 3 cookies).  Directions to the make the box are in my public DropBox folder.
