THOUGHT TREAT: MIA Mutual Improvement Association Cookies.

Tell girls that MIA does not mean Missing in Action – just the opposite (don’t miss the important activities in the Young Women Program that are just for you). The term MIA refers to the Mutual Improvement Association or “Mutual.” MIA was once the name for the youth program in the Church, which we now call YOUNG WOMEN or YOUNG MEN. The word “Improvement” in the MIA initials reminds us that every time we attend Young Women we IMPROVE – we become a better person each time as we apply the gospel principles taught, and make new friends with our peers and leaders.

COOKIE OPTION #1 – MIA Painted Cookie. Have each girl make a painted cookie to show they are looking forward to when they enter into MIA. See how to make these below.

COOKIE OPTION #2 – MIA Initial Frosted Cookies. Frost the letters M I A on three bite-size cookies for each girl or frost the initials on one larger cookie. To make cookies gluten free you could use ½ part almond flour and ½ part gluten-free flour in your recipe.

To Make Option #1 Painted Cookies: Roll out sugar cookie dough and have girls cut out a rectangular shaped cookie, then paint a picture of something they look forward to in Young Women, e.g., Camp, Fun Activity, Service Projects, Dances, etc. On an oiled cookie sheet, two inches apart bake the cookie 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
To make cookie paint, mix 2–3 tablespoons condensed or canned milk and drops of food coloring for each color. You will need paint brushes that not previously been used to paint with paint.

    I love these planning sheets. I have used the Primary Partners/Sunday Savers books since 1999 and have loved it. I have a huge collection! They are just the best. Thank you so much.

      It is with leaders like you that children come to know and love the gospel. I’m sure you go beyond what is expected. Thank you.
