Nothing says the holidays like fresh-baked cookies. That's why students at Le Cordon Bleu Culinary College in Summerlin baked 4,000 cookies and sent them to Nellis Air Force Base airmen and airwomen stationed in Iraq.

The effort began when Pam Hrabosky, who regularly sends items overseas via Soldiers' Angels, learned that Nellis Family Services was looking for people to send cookies to those serving in Iraq.
