The doggone sweet gesture even included Chester County’s K-9 deputies, who each received specially baked biscuits.

“We really appreciate Lauren’s desire to be a part of the ‘Cookies for a Cop’ program, using her talent to show appreciation for the deputies,” Chester County Sheriff Carolyn "Bunny" Welsh said in the release. “We’re also grateful that she considered the K-9 officers and their partners so that there was something good for everyone.”

“Cookies for a Cop” is a national program that is now in its third year. It has been responsible for hundreds of thousands of cookies that have been delivered to law enforcement departments, correctional centers, and dispatch centers in states across the nation, the release said.
