Making Cookies

If there is one activity that ALL of the kids are super into, it is cooking. They get so excited when any one of the teachers brings out ingredients, and they are happy to taste test any of the resulting creations. We have a HUGE list of recipes that we have used this year from kale chips to smoothies and soup to cookies. Here is a great tasting cookie that the cupcakes made a couple weeks ago.

*They used peanut butter, but any nut butter or nut alternative spread will work!
*It is easy to cut down the sugar in this recipe by replacing some with dates or bananas.

1 Cup peanut butter*
1 Cup brown sugar*
1 tsp vanilla
1 large egg

Preheat oven to 350
Mix ingredients until combined
Spoon 1 Tbs mixture about 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets
Flatten mounds a bit
Bake about 7-9 min.

Do not over bake. They will become crumbly and fall apart (though they still taste delicious).

Let cool and enjoy!
