How-To Tips:


1. When you remove the cookies, peel the parchment paper away from the cookie. Do not peel cookie from paper. You're welcome.


2. Dust warm cookies with powder sugar.


3. Light colored pans are best. Happy results!


4. Cook on lowest rack.


5. Preheat oven for 1/2 hour. Your oven may say 350 degrees, but, not all areas of the oven have reached this temperature. This makes for perfect cookies.


6. Make sure cookies are not too close to one another.


7. For the love of cookies, make double batches. Yum!


Kids Corner:


Objective: To get kids cooking.

Teach kids to cook when they are young. You can make wonderful dishes that are quick and easy. Here is a recipe for you that I created when my kids were babies. This delicious peanut butter recipe is perfect for your little kids hands. They can get messy and it teaches kids how to focus and follow directions. You won't need the oven and the kids will love the flavor. It's a sure fire way to get kids cooking.


Ingredients:
1 cup honey
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups dry milk
Measuring cup
Mixing bowl
Spoons
Wax paper
Method:
1. Kids take turns measuring ingredients and mixing them in a bowl. They can use their little hands to squish it together.
2. Then, they roll the dough into balls and set on wax paper for one hour.
3. The kids eat their yummies and talk about what they made.
Recommendation: Provide ingredients for each child to have their own. It's worth it.
