(Its really a lesson on how to incorporate a
baking lesson with your class with the book When
you give a mouse a cookie)

The secret cookie recipe

• If I were you, I would not follow my recipe here
  in this PowerPoint. I really dont make good
  cookies, and I usually burn them.
  
• If you want great cookies please follow online
  directions. A cookbook would be even better. I
  hope you read this slide before proceeding

If you give a mouse a cookie

• This is a great book to read to the children in
  your class when making cookies in the classroom.
  
  
• When reading this book, you can tie in an
  exciting artsy, cooking lesson with it by

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, room temperature
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/4 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 to 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips

About Ingredients

• Brown eggs are better than white.
• If you dont have a teaspoon measurement, just
  guess as well as you can.
  
• Most any chocolate chips will do.

First Preparation

• In a very large bowl, mix the butter and sugars
  until the batter is light and fluffy. Beat in the
  eggs and vanilla once youre at the good
  consistency.
• Make sure the flour, salt, baking powder, and
  baking soda are all sifted. Once they are, stir
  into the mixture and blend well. Once all of that
  is done, stir in the chocolate chips.

7
Final Preparation

• Shape the batter into balls about 2 inches in
  diameter and place about 2 inches apart on an
  un-greased cookie sheet.
  
• If you make smaller cookies, you can also use
  another cookie sheet.
  
• Another good idea is to use cookie cutters to cut
  the cookies into neat shapes.

8
Baking

• Once you are ready to cook, preheat the oven to
  350. Once its preheated, cook at the same
  temperature for 8 to 10 minutes, or until edges
  are light brown.
• If you do it correctly, you should have around 4
  to 5 dozen cookies.

9
Yum!

• Once the cookies are out of the oven, make sure
  they are cooled down.
  
• Be sure to serve warm with cold milk, and you
  could also let the kids decorate with icing.

When you give a mouse a cookie and the cookies!

• If you have problems getting the ingredients,
  parents will always be happy to donate. Also,
  many grocery stores are good with giving away
  things for schools.
• Hopefully this will make your kids excited about
  reading the story, and I wish you luck on
  following my recipe!
