Homemade Cookies Day

October 1
Homemade cookies day.

Chocolate chip. Peanut butter. Oatmeal. Sugar. Gingerbread.

What do these all have in common?
They are all types of COOKIES.

All types of cookies are good, but fresh, warm, homemade cookies are the best!

I decided to make a kind I havent tried before, but everyone loved them.

WHAT YOU NEED:
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk
40 mini chocolate covered peanut butter cups, unwrapped

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder.

3. Cream together the butter, sugars, and peanut butter until fluffy.

4. Beat in the egg, vanilla, and milk.

5. Add flour mixture; mix well.

6. Shape into 40 balls and place each into an ungreased muffin pan. (Mine made 39.)

7. Bake at 375 for about 8 minutes. (Mine was around 10 minutes.)

8. Remove from oven and immediately press in a mini peanut butter cup. (I froze mine for a little bit before, but I dont think it matters either way.)

9. Cool and carefully remove from pan.

10. ENJOY!!

2. Pour into a popsicle mold or eight 5oz cups and freeze.

 

 

WHAT I WILL DO DIFFERENTLY NEXT TIME:

Dollar Day

Dollar Day

Today is the day in history that the dollar was created.

To celebrate today we are going to be finding a hidden dollar inside of blown up balloons and spending it on the ice cream man.

First I blew up some balloons. I had 9 left over from a party so I just used those.

Then I put 1 dollar in 2 balloons.

I got a push pin for my daughter to pop them.

I let her start popping them until she finds the dollars.

Next time I will put some confetti in some of the empty ones to keep the excitment up.

When she found the dollasr we waited for the ice cream man and got an ice cream. (We were going to get ice cream anyway and what else costs a dollar now a days hahaha)

 

 

A way to celebrate dollar day with older kids is to get a bunch of different coins and 1 dollar.

Try and make each coin group (quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies) equal a dollars. So 4 quarters, 10 dimes, 20 nickels, 100 pennies

Or if you have an older child that can do the math and the younger child learning how to count can help you count up to 4, 10, 20, 100


How else can we celebrate dollar day?
