Shortbread Making Extravaganza!

SHORTBREAD! YUM!

The students from Room 15 went to Miss Blacker's class this morning because Mrs. Blacker was here to make shortbread cookies. This is how you make shortbread cookies - you mix butter, berry sugar and flour all together and then you add the mixture to more flour. Then you fold the ingredients all together and flatten it out. The shortbread doesn't rise so you need to make it thick. We used cookie cutters to make shapes or we made our own shapes! Then the cookies are baked!
Once they are baked, we used icing, chocolate chips, candy corn, sprinkles and other types of candy to decorate our cookies. We each made at least two!
When they were done, we got to eat them. The cookies tasted awesome and delicious! We had a lot of fun doing this activity. It was extraordinary and amazing!
