Old Fashioned Cookies!

I probably sound like a broken record, 

but I absolutely LOVE having little kids in the house. 

I love all of their ZEST and excitement for life 

and their willingness to try new things!

This sweet little boy 

 came home last weekend from a Primary activity (local church congregation children's activity). It was all about the Easter Story and they also had a fun scripture cookie sheet  for us to look up scriptures as a family and fill in the blanks to find out the ingredients to make the cookies.  

Ethan gave our Family Home Evening last week and we enjoyed these yummy cookies after our lesson. 

They are a VERY hearty cookie and SO delicious. 

I bet these would also make great cookies to take hiking!

Under the photo of the cookies shown below are the scripture verses
and if you highlight them (including the helpful tips), 

click "file" and then "print" and then "selection"and then "OK"

you can print this out and enjoy doing the activity and then making the cookies.  

 SO much fun for kids! 

SO good and definitely a favorite that we made a second batch and will definitely be making again in the future!
  These remind me of cookies that a grandma would make and they make A LOT of cookies (about 3 dozen).

HELPFUL TIP...I also added in Vanilla, 

I used 3/4 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup white sugar

the "leaven" is "baking soda" 

and I added in 1/2 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup raisins 

and also some chopped walnuts. 

Enjoy having a little family FUN

yummy treat together as well!
