Assured that I really meant it when I announced that I would be baking 30 dozen cookies for my students, T dubbed me the Conquistador of Cookies. I like it and shall henceforth demand that everyone call me by that name.
Baking cookies for my classes has been an annual holiday tradition for me. This year, with 85 students in my orbit, it's a rather complicated culinary affair. The rule of thumb is that I provide 3 cookies for each student. I like to make a variety of treats to satisfy all palates.
Each class's cookie platter featured:
- rocky road fudge
- peanut butter cookies
- snickerdoodles
- peppermint chocolate chip cookies
- tollhouse bars
- Molasses spice cookies
- iced sugar cookies
- sugar cookies
- thumbprint cookies
Cookie day is now a two-day event in my classroom; three classes got their treats today. The remaining classes and my homeroom will be feasting tomorrow. It makes me happy how pleased they are with this simple, homemade pleasure. It's yet one more reason to love what I do.
