First gather a few things:
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons margarine
2 tablespoons water
mixing bowl
cookie sheet
mixing spoon or fork
jelly or peanut butter
Measure the flour, salt, margarine, and water into a bowl. Mix the ingredients with a fork or spoon until the dough is smooth. Roll the dough into little balls. Put the dough balls on a cookie sheet and mash your thumbprints into the dough. Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for 8 - 10 minutes. You can fill the thumbprints with peanut butter or jelly after the cookies are cooled.

 | When children have to wait for things to bake and then to cool, they're developing patience, and that's something mighty important for their learning. What can your child do while you're waiting? Maybe your child can help you by drying the utensils and bowls that you used for mixing the batter or make up a story about cookies or look at pictures in a magazine or read a book. There's lot you can do while you're waiting! |
