The cookies can be ordered and delivered to your favorite hero in time for Veterans Day. (Photo/Provided)Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum’s “Captain Jocko’s Chocos” chocolate chip cookies can now be ordered online and shipped in time for Veterans Day. Only a limited number will be available.

A portion of each sale supports the USS Yorktown Foundation.

The chocolate chip cookie recipe is original to the historic USS Yorktown aircraft carrier and was used during World War II to feed the thousands of sailors on board, according to a news release. The bakery crew produced 10,000 cookies using a recipe that included 112 pounds of chocolate chips, 500 eggs, and 165 pounds of flour in each batch. In April 2022, Patriots Point partnered with local veteran-owned bakery The Front Porch Coffeehouse & Creamery to produce these cookies for the museum’s gift shop.

“They’re very good,” McDade said in the release. “And I should know, I’ve eaten a lot of these.”

More information is available on the website.

Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum on the harbor Mount Pleasant is also headquarters to the Congressional Medial of Honor Society and the agency’s museum.
