“We can’t have them in the cafeteria for sale, period,” food services director Scott Teaman told The Chronicle Telegram. “The guidelines for snacks are very strict, and there is no wiggle room.”

So take donations and give them away.

I did some Googling, and the recipe looks pretty good:

Recipe

The Elyria pink cookie

1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup Crisco
11/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons sour cream
3 cups sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Mix butter (or margarine), Crisco and sugar until creamy. Add eggs one at a time. In separate bowl, mix baking soda and sour cream until baking soda is completely dissolved. Add to butter mixture. In separate bowl, sift flour and salt together. Add to wet batter and mix well. Dough will be sticky and can then be used as drop dough, if desired. If too sticky, add more flour until it can be rolled  ¼-inch thick. Cut with cookie cutters and bake at 350 degrees until golden brown.

FROSTING
1 pound of margarine or butter
6 cups of powdered sugar
1/8 cup of water
Red food coloring

Beat margarine or butter until soft and creamy. Sift powdered sugar and then beat into the margarine/butter a cup at a time until creamy. Beat in water and a few drops of food coloring until smooth. Will frost about 3 dozen cookies.

If you like your cookie, you can keep it. You just can't keep the butter, sugar, or flour.

plenty of locations outside the cafeteria to sell cookies.

Of course the school system could suggest that they opt out of the USDA/DoE/Stassi surplus comodities program and start letting the kids brownbag it or get something from the food truck parked at the cafeteria's side door.

I realize that doing so would mean the loss of one deputy superintendant, two surplus commodities purchase specialists, several warehouse persons, and the fleet of trucks needed to haul all that welfare cheese around.

When the former daughter got to high school they had hot dogs and burgers (plus fries and a can of soda) as the main choice, plus whatever the culinary class on school release from the "local" juvie center dreamed up.  (Which, btw, was usually pretty good.)  If kids did not want what was in the cafeteria they were allowed out - within a 6 block radius (walking only, no cars) - to hit the local resteraunts.  The joys of a very urban school for highly gifted/weird kids.

stay safe.

"plenty of locations outside the cafeteria to sell cookies."

But... but... isn't there a Federal 1000 foot limit for possession of a cookie?

Unless you're in a vehicle passing by?

Or live in a house that's within the 1000 foot limit?

And isn't there an organization of Mayors Against Illegal Cookies?

Next thing you know, kids will be expelled/arrested for biting their soyburger into the shape of a cookie.
