Cookies in Class!

We made cookies in class today as part of our unit on customary measurement. It was lots of fun and we got cookies afterwards. My photographer was a fourth grader so we got like 2 good pictures out of 50. They're all blurry which is admittedly disappointing, but here are some of the pictures so you can see all of the fun we had!

Add 2 cups of butter crisco!

Don't forget the sugar!

Add the eggs.

Put them on the cookie sheets!

For those of you that would like to try this recipe, it is AMAZING! They are the same ones my mom used to make, if you grew up with me.
