Monday Morning Project: Cookies and Cards


We are back to a regular schedule this week. Our Monday Morning Project this week was to make a Thank You Card and cookies for the workers at the Greenhouse for the time they took to give the kids a great field trip a couple of weeks ago. We meant to do this sooner, but we went out of town to take care of my dad and were gone a little longer than planned. I dug out the scrap booking supplies and the kids made a cute Thank You Card, and also a Get Well Soon Card for Mr Robert (co-owner to the Greenhouse) because he just had surgery. We haven't all cooked together for awhile, so the children enjoyed measuring and mixing the cookie dough. We made a double batch so they could enjoy the fruits of their labor in addition to being able to take a batch to the Greenhouse this afternoon after Anthony and Christian wake up from their naps.

My Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe (single batch)

1 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour
1 bag chocolate chips

Cream butter, sugar, brown sugar. Add in salt, baking soda, and vanilla. Stir in flour, eggs and chocolate chips last. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.

The girls love helping me bake. How are the plants going. The kids are eager to get out and start helping with the garden. Another month and we will be able to get out and start planting.
